I bought an ash bucket at a {yard sale} for $2. It was dirty and still had a little bit of ash in it, but I immediately envisioned flowers sprouting from the rim.
I needed drain holes in the bottom, and apparently these are normally drilled into it. My husband has had late football practice, and I am too impatient to wait around for him to have a chance to help me put some little holes in the bottom. I grabbed a hammer and nail and got busy.
It worked like a charm! Make sure to turn the bucket over and hammer the nail in through the bottom so that the sharp edges will be sticking into the inside of the bucket.
I then took a coffee filter to line the bottom and keep the dirt from falling through the holes.
Now it's time to plant!
Voila! My "new" planter for our entrance way.

Wow! It turned out really nice. Maybe you can paint it to add more personality into it.
