26. Repurposed Chandelier Planter
Transform a thrift store chandelier into a cheerful planter to hang on the porch or in the sunroom using just a few inexpensive supplies. Remove all the electrical wiring from the chandelier plus the candlestick-style light sockets and holders, according to home improvement blog DIY Show Off.
Purchase plastic plant pots and trays — one set for each arm of the chandelier — in a size that fits on each arm. Glue the plant trays and pots to the tops of each chandelier arm, then spray paint the entire assemblage in your favorite cheery spring color once the glue dries. Add potting soil and plants, hang the chandelier from a sturdy plant hook and your work is complete.
The total estimated cost for a repurposed chandelier planter is $28.07 assuming you already have an old chandelier. Here’s what you’ll need:
Colored spray paint: $3.86
Six plastic planters: $6.30
Potting soil: $2.73
One half-flat of flowering perennials: $15.18
