Thrifted Mug Rack Farmhouse Style Garden Mini Pot Holder
May 14, 2018
I purchased this iron mug tree a couple of months ago at a local thrift shop.
Read on to see the mug tree re-purposed for the garden!

Here is the mug tree sprayed painted in chiffon cream.
I found these little galvanized buckets at Hobby Lobby.
They are on sale now for $2.39 each.
The rooster, pig, cow and windmill are vinyl stickers.
I sprayed them a couple of times with Krylon Clear Coatings Aerosol in Satin Finish
to help keep the vinyl decals from coming off.

I am going to plant my little buckets with sweet alyssum in two colors.
My little buckets will get watered everyday, and I live in Minnesota, but if you live where it is hot and dry, you could easily fill your little buckets with succulents.
I used a nail and a hammer to make two drainage holes in the bottom of each bucket.
I used Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix as my soil.
Here are my newly planted sweet alyssums in Hobby Lobby galvanized buckets, and hanging on my thrifted mug tree.
I planted each bucket with one purple and one white alyssum.
Two buckets have the white one in front and two buckets have the purple one in front.
I can't wait until the pots fill in!

What a great idea. I will be on the lookout for one of these to put out on my porch.
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteOh so fun! I adore the vignette you created. Wonderful! I am a fan of flowers and not succulents. :)

What a fun upcycle! Love the little buckets with the farm animals and windmill. They look so cute hanging on the cup holder with flowers.
