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!

11 Summer Ideas

I am sharing my DIY Disco Ball Planter today and I am joining 10 lovely friends who are sharing the prettiest summer ideas! If you are here from Pasha Is Home, welcome!! I loved Pasha’s red white and blue ideas! And be sure to see all of the Summer Ideas at the bottom of the post.

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!

    This is so darn cute, Jen. What a fun and creative idea! When I was in elementary school we went skating at a local rink for our end-of-the-year party. I had completely forgotten about it until reading your post and seeing your fun DIY. Thank you for sharing and for bringing back such fun memories. Pinned
