By Riley Booth February 5, 2016
What do you get with a little soil, paint, plants and a few hollow plastic toys -- these adorable dinosaur planters. 

Take a look at the photo tutorial that follows and enjoy your own dino planters. They are sure to brighten up any corner of your home. 

1. Gather the supplies - assorted hollow plastic figures, succulents, potting soil, paint suitable for plastic and a sharp cutting tool. 

2. Cut a hole out of the top of the figure. If you have jagged edges that need cleaning up, a Dremel tool may help. 

3. Lay out the figures to paint. 

4. Apply paint in coats. Allow drying time in between each coat. 

5. Once dry, fill your figures with potting soil and succulents.
