Transforming an old window frame into a charming outdoor plant box is a creative way to upcycle while adding rustic charm to your garden. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your own repurposed window frame planter.

Materials Needed:

- Old window frame (wooden preferred)

- Sandpaper or sander

- Exterior-grade paint or stain

- Measuring tape and saw

- Wooden boards (for the box structure)

- Screws and drill

- Landscape fabric or mesh

- Potting soil and plants

Step 1: Prepare the Window Frame

Clean the window frame thoroughly and remove any broken glass or hardware. Sand it down to smooth rough edges and apply a weather-resistant paint or stain to protect the wood.

Step 2: Build the Planter Box

Measure and cut wooden boards to create a box that fits snugly behind the window frame. Assemble the box using screws, leaving the front open. Attach the box securely to the back of the window frame.

Step 3: Add Drainage and Soil

Line the bottom of the box with landscape fabric to prevent soil from escaping while allowing drainage. Fill the box with potting soil and plant your favorite flowers, herbs, or succulents.

Step 4: Display Your Creation

Place your repurposed window frame planter in your garden, on a patio, or against a fence. The vintage look will add character to any outdoor space!

This DIY project is not only eco-friendly but also a fantastic way to personalize your garden decor. Enjoy your upcycled masterpiece!
