When Instructables user prnet found himself with a surplus of coconuts lying around his house, he decided to enjoy them and then repurpose the husks into something new.
He chose to transform them into new hanging planters.
To prepare each husk for his project, he first sliced off a small part of the coconuts' outer husks.
Then, he drilled a hole through each fruit's top.
After draining the coconut water, scraping out the flesh, and thoroughly enjoying the tasty treat, this DIY-er carved down each husk to an appropriate planter-style size.
Then, he drilled a few more holes into each husk, through which he'd later thread hemp cords.
This upcycler decided to vary his hanging planters' lengths, to give his vertical garden added dimension.
After sizing the cords to his liking, his new planters were ready for the great outdoors.
Filled with bright new plants, and secured in place at varying heights all along his garden wall, this DIY-er's coconut creations were complete.
Now, thanks to his keen upcycler's eye, he has a beautiful garden space to enjoy all summer long.
Left with a surplus of coconuts at his disposal, this crafty DIY-er built himself adorable new hanging planters, keeping his outdoor space fun and fresh.
