File planters under home items that you wouldn't expect to be expensive. But what if we told you that you could DIY expensive-looking "stone" planters with dollar store items?
Yep. The dollar store. (We're all about budget-friendly decor—like this IKEA Pax wardrobe hack that turned a bathroom into a walk-in closet and "Queer Eye" Bobby Berk's DIY minimalist wreath for the holidays.)
Thanks to a viewer named Erika, who discovered her knack for DIY when a health scare forced her to stay home from work and she needed a way to pass the time, we're officially inspired. She has DIYed every room in her house and is on Instagram as @peonyandhoney—with over 85k followers!
