Part 4/6:
For antiquing, we used dark walnut stain. After applying it with a brush and wiping away the excess with a rag, the planters took on a rustic charm that complemented their new purpose.
Preparing for Installation
With our planters painted and antiqued, it was time to introduce the functional aspect of this project: the rain chains. To anchor these chains, we repurposed two scrap pieces of rebar, which we spray-painted black to prevent rusting. The idea is to use these rebar pieces to secure the rain chains in the correct position, utilizing the existing hole where a downspout would be installed.
