Click through for a very detailed DIY on how to install your own window flower boxes, and take a peek at how our project unfolded. The before & after images are also pretty good…
If you’re hunting for an easy or beginner sewing project this winter- or for your holiday decor… this cozy faux fur lumbar pillow is one to save and try!
Here's What You Need...
Faux Fur Material
...and more.
Build out lower support, if necessary
Setup Your Workspace
If your home doesn’t have window ledges, it only makes your process easier! You’ll only need to use one board, rather than building it up.
Confirm the build-out is the correct depth and level with the ledge
Setup Your Workspace
This will ensure the window box hangs level and straight.
Drill the first hole
Setup Your Workspace
If you have a brick exterior, you’ll need to use a hammer drill with a masonry bit to drill your holes. Drill through the wood, just enough to score the brick.
Drill the remaining holes
Setup Your Workspace
Go to the other end of the build out, level it, and drill the remaining holes. We drilled six holes and used masonry screws to support the build out.
Square up your bracket
Setup Your Workspace
Once you have marked where the bracket goes, make sure it’s nice and square with the 9″ level.
Install the bracket
Setup Your Workspace
Use a wood screw to secure the bottom bracket hole. Once the first bracket is installed, move along to the remaining three.
Hang the window box
Setup Your Workspace
nce all of the brackets are in place, you can hang the Mayne window box! It easily tilts onto the brackets and can be removed as needed for planting.
Use packing peanuts
Setup Your Workspace
Prior to putting the soil into the window box, fill the bottom 2-3″ with packing peanuts. Once the peanuts are in place, add the soil mixture. Start planting!
I’m really pleased with the way this project turned out! It makes our big window look less clunky and adds some charm to our front exterior.
