Step 1

Remove the seat and sand the chair to remove gloss from previous paint and to smooth out the surface.

Step 2

Fill any holes or dents with wood filler (if desired). Let dry and sand smooth.

Step 3

Remove fabric covering from chair seat and keep the wooden portion. If the chair you rescued doesn't have a wood seat, you may need to create one to make a frame for the planter.

Step 4

Trace the planter upside down on the wooden chair seat and cut a hole with a jig saw. Drill a hole in one of the corners to put the saw blade through to begin cutting. This will serve as a frame to hold the planter in place.

Attach the seat with the hole to the chair with wood glue and clamp in place to dry.
