One last shindig!

Welcome to our last linky party!

I've so loved having you stop by every week and link your amazing projects!

I've had the chance to meet so many talented people!

Thanks so much for sharing your projects with us all here on Poppies at Play!

I'll surely miss our weekly get togethers.

We're going to play it really casual this summer so that I can spend more time with these cute faces,

and a little less time in front of this:

Yes, there will still be projects posted throughout the summer, but not quite as consistently.

Today we're going out with a bang by having 2 parties!

You can link to our Creative Cats party, and we're also having a 
Porch Party to celebrate all things outdoorsy!
You can choose one, or link to both if you have projects to share!

I'd like to share a little project to kick off the our porch party!

Plant stands...

You start out with a 4X4 cut to desired lengths and grab yourself a few fence post tops at Home Depot

The 4X4 is around $7 and the fence post tops are about $1.50

Screw them together and paint

Instead of using flower pots, I'm using IKEA garbage cans. They're only $1.99.

Is it pretty cheesy that I decorate my porch with garbage cans?!  He he he...

I drilled a few holes in the bottom for drainage.

If you do this, make sure you drill the holes close to the edge and don't push too hard, or the bottom will crack.

Drill the pot right onto the stand. Add hooks to the front of the board if you'd like to hang something from them.

I stuck some vinyl initials on the front and then loaded them with $4 Mums from Wal-Mart

Alrighty folks! I'm excited to see your great ideas for the outdoors!!

If your here for Creative Cats, link here!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
XOXO,
Andy
