Fancy Smancy Milk Jug Pots

I mentioned a few days ago, in my post She's Crafty, that I would make a post about fancy smancy milk jug pots/ planters. I made a new one for my carrots just to take lots of pictures of the process to post for you. Yes you who is reading this post curious about what fancy smancy milk jug pots look like : )

1. So step one is to get 2 one gallon plastic jugs. And Sharpies!

2. Make sure they are empty and clean. We love our filtered water so when on the road we buy lots of bottled water and I find as many ways as possible to use those jugs and recycle the rest.

3. Cut off the top

4. Draw and color on your jug. Make it as fancy as you want.

5. Poke holes in the bottom for drainage.

6. Cut off top half of second jug to make a base. This will be used to catch the water that drains through.

7. Now draw on this part, make sure whatever you draw makes a band around the jug, with all parts touching. Color it if you'd like. 

8. Now cut away the part above your drawing, this is where it gets fancy.

9. With one of the extra pieces that was cut off, make a sign so that you know what you planted.

10. Add dirt, seeds, and sign to fancy smancy milk jug pot. Place pot inside of base.

11. Place outside or in window and watch your plants grow, and remember to water it.
