Moroccan Tile Planter Box with Lid

This planter holds water as a tray and provides a decorative outer container for a 4" nursery pot -- it is large enough to fit some of the taller ones, but not too big for shorter square planters. I also have round pots that fit well in it.

In case you want just a container, there is also a lid that sets inside the box, or could be used as a coaster.   Both designs cast pretty shadows while I was printing so might be fun to try a strong light from inside cast against a wall.

There are two versions --one with two separate patterns and one with the same tile pattern on each side.

I got some stringing but no support is needed. I was able to snip off the worst of it and won't be looking too closely.

If you try it out, post a make, I would love to see!!

HOW I MADE IT:

UPDATED version:

"Moroccan Tile Box v2 -Thicker Walls" and the corresponding lid with minor modification "Moroccan Tile Box v2 Lid-Wider, Thinner."

Notes:

Original versions had thin walls, so I have updated the box with 2 separate tile patterns to have more even, thicker walls
