I couldn't bear to toss my favorite gardening sneaks. So I used them for planters instead. I nailed them to a fence post and planted some orphaned pole beans in them. Even if I get no beans from the plants, it will be an interesting look.

I painted the boot with PVA glue to waterproof it then painted the surface with acrylic paint and added a potted plant
Our PTA president had us ask the school for a week to bring in old shoes for our green theme. Lots of the children brought shoes and the PTA bought soil and seeds.
Reuse an old leather shoe as a planter for hen and chicks or other small succulents. This is a great gift idea.
Check out these photos.
This is something that I did nearly 10 years ago. My father passed away in 2001. After the funeral, I went to his closet and picked one of his work boots, or his "brogans" as he called them.
This is the other worn out boot from our great granddaughter. The birdfeeder mate was sent in earlier. I love it that she is already recycling her things.
This is a page about rubber boot planter. Do you have a pair of rubber boots that your child has outgrown? Turning them into a planter is a fun project that your child can help with and it lets you repurpose them.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
I love to find new things to plant in, this pair of boots had seen better days,so into the garden they went,I also used my girls rubber boots,they are so cute.
I want to make a planter out of work boots. Do they have to be lace up ones?
