How To Make a Window Planter

Cut three pieces of the lumber for the front, back, and bottom pieces of your planter. Cut these two inches longer than the width of your window.

Cut two side pieces of 7¼ inches each. This will create square sides for your box.

Drill two starter holes in each side of your planter sidepieces with the 1/8-inch drill bit. The hole spacing should be uniform.

Place the side cap on one end of the planter and, using the starter holes, drill the piece onto the front and back sections with 1½-inch screws.

Place the bottom section on the rectangular frame and drill four 1/8-inch starter holes along each of the long sides and two on the shorter edges.

Drill the bottom section on using 1½-inch screws.

Drill two to four 1½-inch drainage holes along the centerline in the bottom section.

Sand, prime, and paint your window planter, and mount it beneath your window with the brackets. Grab your dirt and trowel and dig in to beautiful landscaping.
