Planter Redo

My mom gave me this hand-me-down planter box with a faux ivy topiary...it had its days but when our friends' little one started using it as a baseball bat, I decided it was time for a change. So, I got ride of the ivy and began the transformation. The box had flower foam in the bottom and I tried to cut it out at first, but it was not as easy as I had planned. So once I emptied the majority of the foam I soaked it in water. The water worked wonders as the rest of the foam peeled right out and I was ready to paint. I just used craft paint then wrapped textured paper around the outside and glued. Done! Now I have a decorated box I can use to store pretty much anything I want and for free!
