Looking for whimsical, creative, or clever planters for some of your plants? Check out this list of some really cute ideas.
When someone gives me a new plant, immediately I think of a way to showcase it. Recently, a friend gave me a piece of Swedish Ivy which is a descendant of the original plant in John F. Kennedy’s office in the White House. I looked around the house and where I keep all my pots, but nothing really stood out as a new home for this starter plant. I looked on Pinterest for an idea and got sidetracked by all the creative and clever planters out there and I just had to share a few of them.
Most of my larger planters are outdoors and I have been wanting to make a chair planter for so long. I am still wanting to find an old washtub to put on the front porch. And who doesn’t love a vintage bike overflowing with flowers?

I have so many African Violets on a shelf on my patio and recently someone gave me some cute teacups with holes already drilled in the bottom of them. Perfect to showcase some of my violets and what a presentation for a gift. There are so many household items we use that would make great planters. Vintage cans, jars, and bottles can find in thrift stores or stop by your local Goodwill.
- Teacup Planters
- Vintage-Style Tin Herb Planters
- Gumball Planter
- Drinking Glass Planters
- Soup Can Planters
- Bottle Planters
And for a whimsical planter how about an old birdcage, metal toy trucks, old baskets, and picture frames?

- Picnic Basket Planter
- Milk Carton Herb Planters
- Bird Cage Planter
- Picture Frame Planter
I will be looking in our local antique and thrift stores for the perfect spot for my new special plant from the White House. I’m thinking maybe an old coffee can.

I personally love seeing unique and unusual planters. It seems to add a bit of pop to the garden or home. The birdcage one is beautiful.
I love all these creative planter ideas! I like the idea of using old aluminum cans for small succulents.
I absolutely adore ALL of those. So cute and they would go with just about any scheme too!
Some of these ideas are so cute! I absolutely love neat planters! I made one out of two old tires!
