How do I fix a cracked polyethylene planter?
I dropped an empty planter (not terra cotta) and it has a thin crack. I need an easy way to fix it so I can use it. If there isn't an easy way, how could I upcycle it as something else. Thank you.

Hi Dee, you can use hot glue on that crack. You can read more about how to do it here:

We've used epoxy to fix broken planters. It will hold up to the elements and many will withstand water.
Use Gaffer tape on inside and then place polythene bag into planter and fill with soil.
Mix a batch of 2-part epoxy and place on the inside and outside crack of the well-cleaned planter and let cure. The patch should work well.
E6000 would also work.
Epoxy, woodfiller, or caulk can seal it up then paint.
