Not So Pretty Planter

I am definitely a sucker for clearance racks.  Sometimes it bites me in the butt, and sometimes I find really great deals!  Like, my latest trip to one of my favorite stores...Target!!  I was so excited to stumble upon a huge aisle of summer clearance last week.  I purchased a large serving tray, a really nice cloth table cloth, napkins and the cutest picnic blanket...all for about $10.  On the same trip I also found this cute, but not so cute, planter.  But, I did see some potential.  And, since it had been marked down from almost $8 to less than $3, I figured I could at least attempt to make something out of it. 


Here it is before...

And After a little paint.....

                       

Cost: About $3
