How to make a scalloped planter for just $4.50 with DIYer Kristine Ham

DIYer Kristine Ham has proved you only need a few craft supplies and a little creativity to make décor so striking you'd think it was a designer buy.

The Queensland mum has taken a planter purchased from Kmart for just $12 and given it a fresh look using wooden spoons and a hot glue gun.

Ham detailed how to make the project in an exclusive video for 9Honey Living.

When choosing a planter to makeover, Ham looked for one that had a similar colour to the spoons.

The pack of spoons Ham used in the project were purchased from Spotlight but don't appear to be available anymore, so she recommends this $4.50 pack from Coles.

For the project, only the heads of the spoons were needed so the DIY-er popped them in a vice and used a handsaw to cut them all at once.

Then she grabbed a hot glue gun and started attaching the spoons around the rim of the pot and then continued overlapping them until the planter was covered.

When attaching the spoons, Ham off-set them as she went to create a layered look. She advised that the spoons don't need to be lined up perfectly because most of the spoon gets covered by the other layers of spoons.

Once finished, the planter looks like a quirky, textured piece that is right on trend.

While Ham left it as is, she said you could paint it or apply a timber stain if you like.

This project is one of many she has created since getting into DIY years ago when she renovated her house. She shares her crafty adventures on her Instagram and TikTok.

Her other DIYs include a pendant light made with coat hangers, a sofa sleeve and a coffee table.
