I have a fun project for you today. You know what a Koozie is, right? Nooo, not that kind of koozie. A koozie encloses or wraps around a beverage. 🙂 Or in this case my Koozie wraps around a flower pot! 
Do you remember all this fence I got from my sister?
How to hide plastic flower pots
Use reclaimed wood such as fence or pallets
I started by cutting {8} 8 inch boards. I had ripped some of my regular dog eared fencing into about 1 inch pieces. Those were cut in 7 inch lengths. I made two sets of these.
Simple construction using a nail gun
Using my nail gun, I attach two more boards to the corner pieces. I have to use the corner pieces because this fence is very narrow, not giving me any tooth to nail to.
You know what comes next… I added two more boards to the other side. This is how it looks afterwards. uh oh—no bottom? that’s right! I purposely designed these to be flower pot koozies. They surround the plastic pots to give them a rustic look. No need to have a bottom to hold water. Brilliant, don’t you think?
You can see these two potted mums. One is sitting in the koozie, the other is sitting beside the koozie. Simply set the pot into the koozie, and you have a pretty rustic planter for your mums!
Mums in plastic flower pots looking pretty
Look how pretty they look on this porch.
A pretty pop of color, don’t ya think?
Mums make me long for the cooler fall temps. I still have a lot of fence left, do you think these will sell at my show in Glendale?

I just love these Koozies, you don't have to worry about the bottom rotting that way! Mums are my favorite, they produce such beautiful blooms for such a long time. Love how they look on that porch!

Look great and I think they will sell, but you must take the flowers with you.. people seem to need to see how it will look.

These are so cool...I wish it was easier to have flower "pots" in AZ...the hot temperatures make it almost impossible! One of the few things that I miss about the northwest...planters that just thrive!

Wow, Those are just wonderful! What a brilliant idea to hid those plastic containers. I think they would be a great seller especially with a beautiful mum in it! I love them:)
Mindi
These are adorable! WAY better than a plastic planter! Great job!
nova

Marilyn Tucker
I'm sure they would sell. I love them.

Love that look on the porch. I knew the other day when you said that you wished you had made more than one that there was another one in the future. Nice job. And purple.....my fav color.
Sharon @ Elizabeth & Co.
I love the rustic feel! And nobody wants to look at plain old plastic pots!
Missy Homemaker
This is brilliant! It makes it so much easier to change out the flowers with the seasons. These will definitely sell. They are such an easy thing for people to use, and they involve no labor other than setting a pot inside.

What a great idea. I don't see why they wouldn't sell. The would be cute to sell in pairs of two with Welcome painted on the side of one and Friends painted on the side of the other. 🙂
