Book-shaped Bookend Planter

Every book lover has the same shelf problem: paperbacks that slump sideways the second the stack gets thin. This bookend planter duo solves it twice over, propping your reading pile upright while turning the ends of the shelf into two tiny plant pots. Each piece is shaped like a closed hardcover, right down to the three raised bands across the spine, but the top opens up into a hollow reservoir for soil and a small plant. In our photos a trailing string of pearls spills over one lip while a leafy pilea and a striped haworthia fill the other, though any small succulent or low-water plant will feel right at home. Printed in PETG Basic, the planter holds up to the ongoing damp of potting mix and the built-in water reservoir underneath without softening, so it keeps doing its bookend job for years, not just one season. Style one on each end of a stacked row of paperbacks, or use a single planter as a quirky little pot on a desk or windowsill. Printed to order, ready in one to two days.
