DIY Project: Prehistoric Planters That Bring Dinosaurs Back soil conditions. Then drill holes on the underside of the dinosaur to allow for the drainage.

5. Once the top hole is cut and the drainage holes are drilled, find a space for spray painting your dinosaur. I have a place in my backyard where I can hang things in the open air, using wire, which makes for a really handy spray booth. You also can spray on the ground using a drop cloth to catch any overspray.

By Jaana Bithell I have always loved dinosaurs, and I’m a massive crafter. These prehistoric planters bring those two interests together. They look great inside or out, and they make fun presents. They are simple to make yourself with the right tools and a little patience.

Here’s what you need and how to do it.

Depending on the plants you choose, your prehistoric planters can make a colorful indoor display on a kitchen windowsill,

or a playful focal point outside in the garden or on your outdoor table.

What you need: • Hollow plastic dinosaur (or any other hollow plastic animal) • Drill • Utility knife • Spray paint • Wire or a drop cloth •Soil and plant •Paper, ruler, marker (optional) 1. Choose the plant you will put in the dinosaur, then decide the size of the opening it will

need. I always do this by eye, but if you’re not confident about getting the measurements right, sketch the area with a ruler and a marker. Then drill a hole into each corner of the area that will be the opening.

2. Using a utility knife, carefully cut between each of the holes to reveal the opening.

3. Use your knife to cut away excess plastic, leaving a nice, clean shape ready to paint.

4. Check to see what your plant needs in terms of drainage and

Spray 8-12 inches away from the dinosaur and use steady, even strokes to cover it. Take a steady approach to ensure you don’t leave paint dripping down the sides. As tempting as it might be to grab the dinosaur at this point, refrain from doing so and instead let it dry. Follow the directions on your spray can for drying times.

Lighter colors, such as yellow, sometimes need more than one coat. Allow the paint to dry completely before spraying additional coats.

6. Once the paint has dried, it’s time to get potting. It can be awkward to get soil into a small opening. By using a piece of paper, you can create a funnel that gets the soil where you need it, without a mess.

Put in half of the soil before

inserting your plant, so it has something to sit in.

Make a space in the soil and place your plant in the middle. Fill the remainder of the pot until the plant has enough soil around it to hold it upright.

If your soil is dry, put some water in there to pack it down a little, and add extra soil where needed.

Play around with the colors of the pots and the plants you put in them. For this dinosaur I chose pink, which both complements and contrasts with the purple in the succulent, while the inner green really pops.

You can create interesting combinations to brighten up your home. I have found that succulents and cacti work best in the small planting space, but you could try growing small herbs or other plants that grab your fancy.

You don’t have to limit yourself to just dinosaurs. Hunt around and see what else you can find to create your own little planter zoo.

Weekly Horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, if resolutions seem slow-going, give it time to get into a groove and become part of your routine. You can handle anything when you put your mind to it.

Health issues may have you taking inventory of your habits, Libra. It’s a new year and the perfect time to start to make changes for the better.

Ask for help if you need guidance.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, there is a lot going on in your life at the moment, and you may need to accept that you can’t do it all alone. Start farming out tasks to people you trust.

You’re not one for being bashful about things, Scorpio. But something could occur this week that leaves you a little red in the face and perhaps wanting to hide in the shadows.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

How will you know if you can do something unless you give it a try, Gemini? Be adventurous this week, whether it is enjoying a new ethnic cuisine or trying a new activity.

Someone new in your life is causing all types of changes to your schedule, Sagittarius. You’re not quite sure if you enjoy it or not right now.

Stay the course and wait to see.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, you may have a few plans on the horizon but aren’t sure how to get started. Just like walking, take it one step at a time and soon you’ll find that you’re on your way.

Capricorn, you will not make inroads with family or friends if you continue to play the victim. You must own up to any mistakes you’ve made and start making amends this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, you may think you’re being humble and putting others’ needs before your own this week. But if you look a little deeper, you may discover you have room to improve.

Sometimes the best defense is remaining quiet and letting others dig themselves into a deeper hole, Aquarius. Others will see your positive efforts for all they are.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, if you commit to something, follow through this week. Others are counting on you for your portion of the work and letting them down now is not an option.

Think about planning a getaway in the next month or so, Pisces. It doesn’t have to be a grand voyage. Even a weekend retreat can be a way to rest and recharge right now.

SUDOKU HERE’S HOW IT WORKS Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
