With springtime here, Stella is into growing plants these days. We came up with a fresh new way to display her potted treasures!

Supplies

  • Paint can (any size, new or used)
  • Nail/Hammer
  • Waterproof fabric, such as oil cloth. You can also use decorative tape.
  • Spray adhesive
  • Measuring tape

Directions

  1. Clean the paint can with soap and water, then dry thoroughly. If you’re using a used paint can, be sure to empty the can of any remaining paint, wash with soap and water and let dry. Then remove the label and any remaining glue or residue (Goo-Be-Gone is great for that).
  2. Punch a small hole at the bottom of the can, using a hammer and a nail. The hole should be just big enough to let the plant breathe.
  3. Measure the length and circumference of the can and cut out your fabric.
  4. Apply adhesive to the backside of the fabric and carefully wrap it around the can.
  5. Once the fabric is dry, add soil and a succulent (or one of your favorite household plants) to the can!
