Recycled Lanterns As Planters - planted pots on garden tableI found 2 lanterns in great shape at a thrift store for pennies! I wanted to transform these beauties into something other than lighting - planters! Although you find a lot of them are in black, I will transform them into a softer look.

Did you use a diamond tipped drill bit to drill drainage holes or were you able to use something less expensive?

Like your idea!

Hey, Ana!

I'm finding more and more neighbors through ThriftyFun. I lived in Charlotte for a while. Also Lowell, just outside Gastonia. And I lived for a few years in Greenville SC. I did a bit of fishing on the Catawba river (mostly Brim).

My question about drill bits may have sounded strange. I didn't notice that the pots were plastic. I got some nice ceramic pots from Dollar Tree, but they had no drain holes. I went to get a diamond tip drill bit to make the holes and was shocked.
