fniss wastepaper basket plant pot

this is from andrea of heavypetal (love the blog name!), modifying a fniss wastepaper basket into planters.

here's how andrea did it: "i carefully drilled three holes in each bottom using a 5mm (1/4") drill bit (the plastic is thin so you have to apply gentle pressure with the drill or the bottom may crack). i filled each one with a mixture of coco earth (to retain water) and sea soil, a gorgeous dark soil that practically matches the black of the containers."

ted and sharon combined an ikea salad bowl and a gaje speaker stand to create a plant stand. just drill three holes into the bottom of the bowl to line up with the three holes in the speaker stand.
