I bought these for a craft project I am working on for Christmas and I love them because they are durable and very inexpensive ( 0n sale for $8 each)I took the shatterproof Giant Christmas ornaments in graduating sizes, put holes in top and bottom, and put them on a dowel I had cemented into the bottom of these planters and made two beautiful Christmas Topiaries to put on my front porch on either side of my door. They only had the planters in black, but I used a spray paint that adheres to plastic for a hammered bronze effect and they look Great!!!!!
