*sponsored by Krylon    

Whats up pals. I hope you’ve been nicely and also you’ve been having fun with the hotter climate.
I wished to share a simple out of doors mission with you at the moment. This little lantern turned planter is so cute and kooky and all it took was the facility of spray paint to provide it a brand new life. I used my favourite spray paint model, Krylon, to finish this mission. I really like Krylon as a result of it’s so simple to make use of and ideal for any craft mission I’m engaged on!

That is what it appeared like earlier than. I debated whether or not I ought to use the Krylon Fusion All-In-One spray paint in Satin Black that I had used to make over the bench, or go along with considered one of Krylon’s many other color options. You may see the bench HERE.

However I opted to go along with the Fusion all in One in the color Spanish Moss. I believe it seems so cute and I like how the inexperienced can incorporate into the backyard so nicely.  To organize the terrarium: I first lined the glass panels with cardboard and spray painted the surface. As soon as dried,  I positioned the cardboard on the within and spray painted the within of the lantern.  I allowed it to dry utterly. I then lined the underside pf the lantern with a black plastic bag and positioned a layer of rocks. The rocks function a approach to hold the moisture off the roots. (Alternatively, you might drill a gap on the backside and proceed planting as traditional) As soon as I positioned the layer of rocks, I positioned the vegetation and lined them with soil. To complete it off, I lined it with some moss.

I really like how simple The Fusion All In One Spray Paint  adheres to any floor and doesn’t require any prep or priming.  It makes it so good for any mission. These little terrariums are really easy to deal with as a result of they create their very own setting and feed off one another so long as you discover vegetation that share the identical necessities. In addition they would look nice as a centerpiece in your out of doors desk.

I hope you loved this little mission. See you quickly.

a lot love,

Lucy
