Handmade wooden planters — a black and white rooster and a red fox, both planted with lavender — on a garden table

Handmade wooden animal planters

Whimsical planters built for homes, gardens & gifts.

Cut, painted, sealed, and finished by hand — each one with weather-tough construction, built-in drainage, and plenty of room for succulents, lavender, herbs, or seasonal blooms.

Handmade decor with a little personality

Playful pieces made to brighten indoor and outdoor spaces.

SKACRAFT creates wooden animal planters designed to make people smile. Each piece is cut, painted, sealed, and finished by hand — giving every planter its own charm and character. From roosters to foxes, cows to raccoons, dogs, cats and many more including one-of-a-kind custom designs, these planters make thoughtful gifts and cheerful accents for patios, porches, tabletops, gardens, and cozy indoor corners.

Made to last

Cute on the outside. Practical underneath.

Every planter is built with smart details that help it hold up beautifully indoors or outdoors.

Weather Sealed

Sealed before and after painting to help protect the finish through every season.

Built-In Drainage

Each planter has ample drainage so water does not sit long on the wood after watering the plant or a rain shower.

Wooden Legs Sit Off the Ground

Rubber pads under each foot keep the wood from sitting directly in standing water.

Sturdy Construction

Made from 1/2-inch wood and built solidly with wood dowels and glue — no flimsy joints.

How each one comes together.
