Another Upcycled Hanger

So I've had this big cracked colander sitting around from my sophomore year and I can't figure out what to do with it. I've since gotten a new one but this one was so big I just couldn't bring myself to toss it. Finally I've put it to good use... as a hanging planter!

It was simple, I just drilled a hole in each handle, painted it and planted it. To keep the dirt from falling out I lined it with a paper bag and voilà, we have a cute, well-drained and rather large hanging planter. Lining it with preserved moss might have looked a little nicer but I just used what was on hand. Mine will be full of crisp, fresh lettuce come fall. Yum!
