Springits almost here! Between creating pretty DIY projects and tackling spring cleaning around your home, youll no doubt find yourself sizing up your backyard, dreaming up ways to revamp it for the season. You might have a veggie garden in mind, a new "solitude shed" from Costco that'll give you an at-home vacation when you want it, or maybe you want to dot your backyard with flowers that bloom at night. With all these lofty goals, well recommend one great place to get startedthe patio, with a simple gardening DIY that will instantly add spring blossoms (or fragrant cooking herbs!) to your outdoor space. View full post on InstagramDIYer Jen of the Instagram account @tatertotsandjello came up with an ingenious way to pretty up a patio table. First, she found a vintage bundt pan with a hole in the middle (the quest to thrift it is half the fun!). Next, she points out that its the perfect patio planter because a patio umbrella fits right through the middle of it! (Cue that Why didnt I think of that? moment). After that, she simply added potting soil in it, planted some gorgeous blooms, and her table is all set for outdoor entertaining and enjoying spring in all its glory. Jen does share a couple smart bonus tips in her Instagram caption, saying how important it is to measure your umbrella pole to make sure it will fit through the center of a bundt pan (perhaps jot it down and keep it handy when you go thrifting). She adds that older bundt pans tend to have larger holes. For drainage, she recommends adding gravel before dumping in the potting soilor you can poke a few holes in the bottom of the bundt pan. We are loving this idea, and so are the commenters. One said, This is so cute and clever! Another commented, Love re-purposing items for something unexpected. Overall, this is a fabulous way to breathe new life into an old-school vintage item, and you might only pay $1 for it instead of dropping tons of cash on a brand-new planter. So, what do you think? Are you going to go the bundt-pan route when you beautify your patio for spring? Related StoriesFollow House Beautiful on Instagram and TikTok.
