DIY FLOWER BOX TUTORIAL WITH RUST-OLEUM SPRAY PAINT!

Wednesday, July 3, 2019




Today’s post features a DIY flower box up-cycling tutorial with step-by-step instructions featuring new colors from the Rust-Oleum 2x Spray Paint Collection! This product is the perfect way to bring life to any outdoor decor or furniture this summer, new or old! Our flower boxes had seen better days, and were starting to look lackluster. In a sunny summer afternoon I was able to easily transform them and up our curb appeal in a major way. 

Don’t miss the giveaway at the end which includes two $50 gift cards. Thank you to The Home Depot for sponsoring this post, now let’s get started!


To complete this project you will need the following items, all available at The Home Depot.

-Flowers from the Garden Section

The colors I used are:

My flower boxes are from a previous DIY made with this lumber. I include additional details on how they’re assembled later in this post. Pre-made flower boxes are also available! Check out a few amazing options here.



The Rust-Oleum Color Palette is filled with a wide variety of options from neutral to bold. Pack a punch with Cherry, or opt for Coastal Gray to fit right in to an existing serene landscape. I recommend choosing colors that both compliment your flowers inside the boxes and the color of your home. Placing the darkest color on the bottom will visually ground the flower boxes and give them a more substantial feel. If using more than one color, or creating a pattern, use painter’s tape to separate your design. I chose a horizontal stripe of the original wood, followed by Rust-Oleum 2x Gloss Pink Peony on top and Rust-Oleum 2x Satin Silver Lilac on the bottom. Depending on your surface, you may need to prime first like I did on the Pressure-Treated Cedar-Tone Board.



Next up is the fun part - spray painting! You’ll notice the formula of this line is highly pigmented and applies in an even, opaque, and bold application. I noticed less coats were needed with the Rust-Oleum brand compared to others I’ve tried. If painting on a light surface you will likely only need one coat. Because our wood flower boxes are dark, sit outside all summer long, and spend many hours in direct sunlight, I opted for two coats to be on the safe side. It dries extremely fast and has a beautifully smooth finish.



There are a few important factors when choosing the flowers for your boxes. First, some varietals are more high maintenance than others. Will you easily be able to water daily, or do you need a larger window due to your lifestyle? Will your flower boxes be in direct sunlight? Would you like them to stand straight up, or have a more relaxed feel like mine? Luckily, The Home Depot includes signs in their Garden Section to make your selection that much easier. They separate flowers by low, medium, and high sun with the amount of hours of direct sunlight clearly visible ensuring you are able to confidently select the right option for your space.

My selections included Petunias, Impatients, and Vinca Vines.


My flower boxes are on their third season, and it’s clear to see the visual impact already made by just a few minutes of attention with the Rust-Oleum line. The wood frames were designed to hold the plastic boxes by them resting on the lip of the wood frame. This way, no water is trapped inside and it’s able to easily flow through. From the front of the home, and even standing directly in front of the flower boxes, you’d never know they aren’t completely enclosed. This is a quick tip that will make your DIY boxes that much easier, and more affordable, to assemble. These easy to make flower boxes also rest on complimenting black brackets. Building your own is rather simple, and allows you to fully customize the size. Looking for pre-made flower box options? The Home Depot has several for you to choose from here.



Once my flower box frames were dried (roughly 20-30 minutes) it was time to add the flowers inside and set them on their bracket bases. I love how they pop - yet fit right in! No need to secure further either - the weight of the assembled flower boxes keeps them in place.



Be sure to check out the complete Rust-Oleum Color Palette to view all of your creative options. There is a shade for every style and look you can imagine! A quick afternoon of DIY fun has added an exciting outdoor update I’ll be able to enjoy for months to come.
