MS. KRUGER'S THIRD GRADE CLASS

TILE INLAID PLANTER BOXES

What do you do with eight square feet of tumbled marble leftover from a tile shower? Turn them into planter boxes!


Each sheet of tile will become a 'side' of a pair of wood planter boxes. The custom planter boxes are being made with IPE by BCS dad, Jeff Behnke.


Students were then lead through creating small drawings that depicted nature...flowers...trees... leaves. Their small drawings were transfered onto the tiles and sealed. Each child's name is also represented on in random tiles on both boxes.










The Ipe wood has been oiled to further protect against the elements.
