A DIY tiered planter is a great way to spruce up your outdoor space for very little money. Grab a few different size terra cotta pots to make your own tiered planter easily.
Be sure your pots are painted and fully cured before starting to stack your planter. You will want to be sure to follow all directions on the packaging for the paint you are using.
Fill the bottom pot partially with dirt and pack down well. You want to be able to set the saucer for the next pot on the dirt and have it go almost to the edge of the pot.
Continue stacking with as many pots as you are using. Fill up the pots with dirt after your stack is complete. Then just add in your plants to complete the look.
