Use your imagination and you can have a planter !!

old metal lunchbox

old rusty bird cage with a hanging basket inside

 boots --I have painted an old pair of boots white and put plants in them -- very cute !!

antique tractor tool box

old galvanized tub.

 old car tire -- paint it and put a tree inside the center or lots of plants

Hang an old wooden straight back chair upside down and set a potted plant inside the legs. Looks great with trailing plants.

 an old metal bed frame with a box built into it planted as a "flower bed."

 a couple of old canners (for canning fruit and garden produce) for planters. The blue enamel ones have a really nice country style when filled with red geraniums and greenery.

 a little red wagon

Easter basket

vintage coffee pot

 an old ringer washer

   a child's toy dump truck

Place a plant inside  and you've created a very nice planter

Anything can be used if you can put some soil in it and make sure you have drainage holes.
