*sponsored by Krylon    

Whats up pals. I hope you’ve been properly and also you’ve been having fun with the hotter climate.
I needed to share a straightforward outside undertaking with you right this moment. This little lantern turned planter is so cute and eccentric and all it took was the ability of spray paint to offer it a brand new life. I used my favourite spray paint model, Krylon, to finish this undertaking. I really like Krylon as a result of it’s so simple to make use of and excellent for any craft undertaking I’m engaged on!

That is what it seemed 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 one in every of Krylon’s many other color options. You’ll be able to see the bench HERE.

However I opted to go along with the Fusion all in One in the color Spanish Moss. I feel it appears to be like so cute and I like how the inexperienced can incorporate into the backyard so properly.  To arrange the terrarium: I first lined the glass panels with cardboard and spray painted the skin. As soon as dried,  I positioned the cardboard on the within and spray painted the within of the lantern.  I allowed it to dry fully. 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 maintain the moisture off the roots. (Alternatively, you possibly can drill a gap on the backside and proceed planting as common) 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 excellent for any undertaking. These little terrariums are really easy to deal with as a result of they create their very own surroundings 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 outside desk.

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

a lot love,

Lucy
