Examining an old object and transforming it into a beautiful new decorative piece is not only sustainable but also particularly satisfying. Today I'll show you how to easily turn an old tub into a large, attractive flower pot. With just a few simple steps and a little creativity, you can give your garden or balcony a charming, rustic flair.

Materials needed:
  • Old tub
  • tape measure
  • Branches (at the height of the tub)
  • sage
  • Two old ratchet straps
  • stapler
Step 1: Measure the circumference of the tub
  • Let's start by measuring the circumference of your tub. That's our first step in determining how many doctors we need.
Step 2: Saw off the branches
  • Saw the branches to the height of the tub. Make sure the branches are as even and straight as possible to achieve a harmonious overall appearance.
Step 3: Lay out the branches
  • Lay the sawn branches side by side on the ground to form the circumference of the tub. If your tub is against a wall, we might need fewer branches for the back. This saves time and effort.
Step 4: Secure the branches
  • Take two old ratchet straps and attach them to the top and bottom of the branches using a stapler. Make sure the straps are taut and leave some excess webbing at the ends so you can tie them later.
Step 5: Construct around the tub
  • Now place the structure around the tub from the outside and tie the ends of the tension straps securely.

With these simple steps, you've transformed an old tub into a stylish, rustic flower pot. This DIY project not only brings the joy of creating but also a touch of nature to your surroundings. Have fun crafting and planting!
