Close the hole in the bottom of the pipe with a cloth (it will make the drainage process easier), fill your pipe with soil and add the plants through the holes. This idea is not suitable for all plants, some nice ones to use are the ones with small leaves and flowers or the ones that like to grow between things as climbing plants.

Not so simple as the previous ideas, pallets can also been used as vertical planters but they require a bit more of work. First you need to pin the back of the wooden palletwith a thin wood of the same size. Then you have to cover this same part with a plastic (you can use a staple) and cover again with a piece of cloth (this one for esthetical reasons). The plastic won’t let the water and the soil pass through your planter avoiding the dirt to come out. Now, with your pallet lied on the floor start adding the soil and the plants to it (you must cover all the spaces with plants or when you put it up the soil will come out from the holes). Now it´s only find a nice corner for your new planter!
