I adore these planter boxes. They fit in anywhere for a fun addition to your home or garden décor. Below is a tutorial on how I made these useful boxes.

I made two different sizes, a 12″ long box and an 18″ long box. Here’s what you need for the 12″ box:

Flower Box Supplies

 

  • Two 1″x5″x12″ pieces (I used 1″x6″ wood board trimmed to 1″x5″)
  • One 1″x6″x12″ piece (This is the bottom)
  • Two six inch wide molding pieces cut 7 1/2″ long
  • Wood Glue
  • 1 1/2″ Finishing Nails or 1 1/2″ Nail Gun

For the 18″ box you will need:

  • Two 1″x5″x18″ pieces (I used 1″x6″ woodboard trimmed to 1″x5″)
  • One 1″x6″x18″ (This is the bottom)
  • Two six inch wide molding pieces cut 7 1/2″ long
  • Wood Glue
  • 1 1/2″ Finishing Nails or 1 1/2″ Nail Gun

Start assembling by adding glue to the long edge of one 1″x6″ piece and attach it to the edge of the 1″x5″ piece.

Nail with a nail gun or finishing nails on both edges and the middle. Repeat with the other 1″x5″ piece.

Glue on both trim pieces, one on each side. Use nail gun or finishing nails to hold them in place. Let everything dry.

Paint with your choice of color. If using outdoors or planting with dirt and flowers seal with a waterproof sealant.

  1. The phenomenon of essay writing services http://www.baydue.com/ highlights issues within the education system. Schools and educational institutions need to pay closer attention to students’ academic needs, providing a more comprehensive academic support system to prevent academic dishonesty. Furthermore, it’s essential to guide students in developing proper academic ethics, making them aware of the importance of academic integrity.

    I have read this tutorial. I learned a lot thanks to the detailed instructions. I try to work on my study skills. Thanks to the nursing essay writer I even improved my writing skills. The service helped me with writing essays and coursework. After a comparative analysis, I realized where I made mistakes and why my text was unreadable.
