She's Crafty: Metal Box succulent container

Today I'm sharing a

thrift store makeover

metal box succulent container.

Every time I'm at the thrift store

and find something I love,

I pick it up and find a use for it later.

My husband is very patient with my hoarding tendencies

and our FULL garage! :)

As I was recently perusing my stash,

I found these metal file boxes.

I picked them up a few months ago at our local thrift store,

Goodwill, for about $1 each.

I was excited to figure out something to do with them.

I thought they would make a

lovely container for a plant.

I found this cute succulent planter at Aldi.

You know I love me some Aldi!

For drainage, I put some rocks into

the bottom of the metal boxes.

Then I added some potting soil.

Then I did the best part,

I placed the succulents into the metal boxes.
