| Thrift store box of chess pieces, and styrofoam, glass tiles.
I am making a flower pot on a pedestal out of the things above. This is the layout of the pedestal for the pot so far.
I used GE II silicone caulking to put the box together. Attaching the tile and chess pieces with outdoor caulking.
Onyx Chess pieces
Styrofoam pedestal that I glued together.
Glass tiles
Beginning of putting together.

| Can you grout this? Lookin' pretty cool! TFS! Jeanne S. |

| That should look great! I guess you filled in the side where it was low with something. Does grout stick to styrofoam? Jan |

| Thanks for looking. I do not plan to grout. They are glass tiles and the caulking pretty much is between the tiles. I have brown caulking. Jan I did cut pieces of stryo to cover the holes and the scoop sides. I use pieces of styrofoam to make boxes it is easy to cut and make them any size you want just spread some caulking on and slap them together. |

| Finished now I need to put plants in. Will post when I get it planted up. I feel good that I saved the landfill of a little bit of styrofoam and maybe next year we will not have 2 months of 100 degree temps and all my plants suffer. lol

| Looks great! I think the foam will help keep roots of plants cooler too than a regular pot. Can't wait to see it planted, lots of room for plants to trail down sides. TFS Jan |

| I think this turned out great! I had a hard time visualizing how it would end up at first, but the after-result is really neat! Rocks & chess pieces work together nicely. Can't wait to see what you plant in it! |
