This Adorable Walmart Scalloped Decor Item Has So Many Functions

Happy spring! If you’re like me, you’re all about the flowers now. And Walmart is on-theme with adorable scalloped round planters in different sizes and colors. 

The ceramic planters come in two sizes and two shades: You can get a 4-inch planter in blue or white for only $2.98 or $2.97, respectively, as well as a 6-inch planter in blue or white for just $5.44. The pots also contain a drainage hole with a removable plug if you choose to use them for real plants.

But surprise: They have so many other potential uses, too! 

TikToker @athomewithpaigen showcased how you can give one of these planters a long-lasting twist that’s perfect for dorms with minimal light by putting faux flowers inside instead. This look is beautiful and super easy to re-create — you can buy fake flowers from any craft store. 

Meanwhile, Greisy Veras (@greisyv14 on TikTok and @greisyveras on Instagram) chose to totally switch things up and use the planters as candle holders. The planters immediately make plain old white candles look 10 times more decorative. You could do the same and use the white planter for a more minimalistic feel, or the blue for a more colorful spring vibe. If you’re in a dorm or apartment that doesn’t allow candles, you can absolutely use flameless LED candles instead. This video, which got 138,000 views on TikTok and more than 2,600 likes on Instagram, received many excited comments, including, “I really need to check out Walmart.” Yes, you do!

Personally, though, I would use one of these planters for either my makeup brushes or school writing supplies. It’s such an easy way to organize your everyday items in a cute way. You can add one or multiples to your desk in a way that serves as decor with functionality. 

I don’t trust myself with growing real plants, so this makes more sense for me. But if you’re a plant fanatic, these ceramic pots would be the most adorable and affordable way to  enhance your favorite plants!
