Cows Remain Popular On and Off the Farm

These days, it seems cows are as popular in urban homes as they are on farms and ranches. Decorating with cow themes remains as trendy as ever.

Here’s a do-it-yourself project that will add a little of that bovine charm to your home or yard. This cow planter can be used indoors or out: just fill it up with potted plants or flowers and put it on the porch, in the yard or in the kitchen or den.

The completed cow planter measures 37 inches long by 14 inches wide by 21 inches high.

The Cow Planter plan, No. 825, is $6.50 and includes step-by-step directions with 15 photos, full-size traceable patterns, exploded diagrams and a shopping list and cutting schedule.
