Spruce up any old kitchen pot into a cheery hanging planter with this easy spray-painting idea

Start by rummaging through the cabinets to find shapely pots or ones with some texture that you don’t use anymore. Perhaps the one thing you’ll need to practise is using the can of spray paint. Pick a couple of bright colours and try spray-painting a few rocks from your garden until you get the hang of it. If the kids are pitching in, you might need a bigger sheet of old tarpaulin or newspapers to spread out before you begin.
 

If you’ve been itching to get started on a serene hanging garden in your window or balcony, this is the most satisfying way. When you’re spraying the upturned pots, you’re working towards a smooth, lump-free first coat. This will set the base for an even second coat and give it a truly professional finish. Now, all you need to complete the project is some beautiful ferns like the Nephrolepis Exaltata commonly called the Boston fern or flowering plants like pansies that will make you happy every time you look at them. Rack in the compliments and show off your creative flair by sharing a picture and tagging us on Instagram. To take your home decor to the next level, consider incorporating Interior Design elements that complement your newly painted walls and plants, such as throw pillows, rugs, and wall art
