DIY Summer Disco Ball Planter

I love summer and I love my new Moonlight Rollerskates. Aren’t they so cute?? We have a big park near our house and it’s so great because it has a circular track that is perfect for roller skating. I love going there with my kids while they skate. It’s one of my favorite things right now. I decided to create a disco ball centerpiece that reminds me of going skating at the roller rink every saturday with my friends when I was in middle school!

Easy Summer Centerpiece Idea

Disco Balls are so magical when they are reflecting light! Make this disco ball. planter and see it sparkle all summer long. I wasn’t sure if this DIY would be difficult or easy as I thought about how to create this idea. It turns out it was so much easier than I imagined. Yay! Here’s how to do it:

Disco Ball Planter Supplies

All you need is a couple supplies to make this project!

• Disco Ball – this is the disco ball I ordered — 8″ disco ball. You want one that is hollow inside.
• Planter to go inside the disco ball – here is one that fits inside the disco ball I used.
• A knife
• Glue dots (optional) – this makes it so the ball doesn’t roll around.

How to Make a Disco Ball Planter

• Put the disco ball on your work surface and put the planter on top so you get a sense of how wide you need to make your opening.
• Mark where you will cut into the disco ball. I made my opening bigger than the width of the planter just to be safe. You can also make it larger if you need to.

• Take your knife and insert it in between the rows of mirrors.
• Cut along the rows until you have cut to the point where you started. Since the mirrors are continuous you will have a little step where you cut to take the top off the disco ball. This will not be very noticeable once you have inserted your flowers or plant inside the planter.

• Take the lid off the disco ball and place your planter inside. If it’s a tight fit, you can trim some of the styrofoam away inside the ball to make it a little larger. Or you can cut another row of the mirrors off.

• Now you can insert a plant or flowers inside the planter and enjoy your sparkly planter! I am going to make a macrame hanger for mine and I will share that tutorial and link it here if you want your planter to hang in a window for EXTRA sparkle!
