Rain Boots And Flowers Make Me Smile
Rain Boot Flower Display
Welcome to Thrift Store Decor day. This month’s project isn’t really a makeover….it’s more of a re-purpose project. A really cute project. I’m a sucker for cute rain boots.
I found the rain boots at my local Goodwill store. I thought I wanted to use them as planters…meaning fill with potting soil, cut a drain hole in the bottom of the boots, and add flowers. I tried the boots on when I got home and guess what? They fit me perfectly. They’re in great shape and just the cutest so these boots are going to be multi-purpose.
I selected a batch of flowers from my stash and plunked them in the boot. They were almost hidden so I stuffed some bubble wrap in the bottom of the boot and stuck the flowers back in. The rain boot flower display is sitting on my favorite $5 reclaimed bench on the front porch.
Another ideas is to sit a small vase inside the boots and add fresh cut flowers.
The display will be on my front porch until I make it to the garden store. I hope to gussy up the porch with ferns and rusty décor! My usual fair.
Time to see what the other girls have been up to. Just click the pink links below……
Have a great day!

I like the idea of putting a small vase in the boot for cut flowers.
sweet idea Kathy
Gonna have to make a Goodwill run! Loved, love, love!
This is super cute!!! What a great idea 🙂
marlenealen great idea Kathy… Going to get my rain boot !!!
Such a cute idea, Kathy. I’ve got a pair that my girls have outgrown and I guess I need to hang on to them for something like this!
Love this idea so cute. I have been using a pair of my late husband’s old work boots as planters for a few years now and have received a lot of comments about them, especially when I explain the story behind them. However, with yearly use, the earth has started to break the boots down. Now I think I have the replacement for them, thanks.
Aww how cute! There is going to be a run on rain boots at the thrift store! The rain boots would make a darling centerpiece on a picnic table 🙂 Love it!! Thanks, Kathy
Put that snow shovel away pronto so it’s not an omen!
