Guy repurposes empty ice cream container into cute, quirky planter for the home

If you love a good upscaling project - these planter projects are for you. By repurposing old containers, cans, and tins you can create a pretty planter for your home and garden.

What's great about these projects is that to transform your old containers you're only going to need some paint, glue, wood, and other craft supplies you normally have around the house. That makes these projects great for a rainy day or lazy afternoon.

Check out the list below and get inspired!

Those old ice cream tubs can be transformed into one of a kind pieces of art thanks to this Philjrsartscraftsmore birdhouse project.

This project is great for painters because you're going to paint a scene on both the planter and the bird house. But, don't worry if you're crafty and not so artsy - you can simply spray paint both your favorite colors, use stencils, or just create a pattern.

For this project, you're going to need an old tub, a bird house, and some wood and paint. It's a great afternoon project that will be something you can admire for years to come.

This FrugElegance project is just that - frugal yet totally elegant. We love this project because everyone has old coffee or vegetable cans lying around - so it's something easily accessible. Plus, these little planters are going to look beautifully rustic scattered around your home or garden.

All you're going to need for this project is some rope, old cans, and glue. Doesn't get easier than that!

This is an incredibly festive upscaling project by Cottage at the Crossroads. You can repurpose that old grill that's been rusting on the back deck, or even pick one up off the side of the road, fill it with your favorite plants and admire it all summer long.

We love how they've painted this one a bright green - but you could let yours gleam with its rusty old age too.

Have some old pans that are about ready to retire? Well, this My Crafty Spot do-it-yourself project shows you how to transform that old bread pan into a totally trendy planter.

What's great about this planter is the size. It'll fit perfectly on your kitchen counter or window sill - so it's a great spot to plant some of your favorite cooking herbs. All you're going to need for this project is an old pan, some paint, glue and some wooden balls. They've created one with chalkboard paint and text - but you could customize it however you'd like.

Big, old coffee cans have long been used as planters - but this hanging planter featured on Pinterest is unlike anything we've seen before. We love how they've painted each planter a different color and filled them with hanging, draping plants.

After rounding up some old coffee cans, you're going to need to get your hands on some paint, some chain, a hook, and the perfect place to hang your new planter.
