How to Build a House Number Planter

Materials:

• One 1 inch x 2 inch x 8 foot primed pine board
• One 1 inch x 4 inch x 10 foot primed pine board
• 1 1 /4-inch Brad Nails
• Wood Glue
• Wood Screws
• House Numbers
• Paint

Tools:

• Miter Saw
• Brad Nailer
• Tape Measure
• Pencil
• Safety Glasses
• Sanding Block

Cut the following with the miter saw.

One 1 inch x 2 inch x 8 foot primed pine board:

• (2) 17 inches

One 1 inch x 4 inch x 10 foot primed pine board:

• (2) 3 1/2 inches
• (1) 12 1/2 inches
• (1) 14 inches
• (5) 16 inches

Use a sanding block to smooth out the edges and surface.

Paint the five 16-inch boards any color you like. Paint them all one color, or different ones. Once dry, line up the boards, painted side down, to create a palette.

Using wood glue and brad nails, attach the two 17 inch x 1 inch x 2 inch boards to the backside of the 16 inch boards.

Attach two planter box sides at 3 1/2 inches to the 12 1/2-inch piece and then attach the 14-inch piece across the front using wood glue and a brad nailer. Fill in nail holes, sand and spray paint.

Attach the planter box to the front of the palette, perpendicular, with wood glue, adding nails from the back to secure.

Tip: The box should be set offset 1 inch on both sides and the bottom. Nail from the back 1 1/4-inch to secure.

Line up the self-adhesive numbers to the front of the planter. Pre-dril holes into the front of the four corners of the planter box to add decorative screws.

Add D-rings to the back of the planter to hang. Now it's time to hang it up and add in the plants.
