My Tins Become Flower Pots For 0 €.
"How beautiful are your flowerpots! Where did you buy them?" Nowhere.
Total recycling, total trend, this is how my cans become flower pots.
I have had an idea. I wanted lots of little flowerpots to put in my house to decorate.
Climbing plants, aromatic plants or pretty flowers, it makes the house more perky and more alive.
So I went to a gardening store to find what I was looking for. But my happiness, alas, had a price, far too expensive for my small means ...
Indeed, for a beautiful planter can contain 5 plants, it is necessary to count 11 €. And as I wanted to have little flowers everywhere, at this pace, I was quickly going to be ruined.
A tin can = a flowerpot
So I went home, knowing that my happiness would not be within reach of my wallet.
And I searched the web to find decorating ideas. And I found a perfect one. It was THE thing I had been looking for for a long time: a diversionof cans.
There are some in the last cupboard in my kitchen, you tell me. And you will be right. But it is well known, it is sometimes what is in front of our nose that we take centuries to find.
And I had never thought of making flower pots out of them. While a good can of green beans, or peas, would do just fine.
Undress me this can
I finally have what I'm looking for. Now, to prepare this pretty flowerpot can, I have to completely undress it (yes, all naked).
For that, I dip her in hot water, this will take off the not very glamorous "extra fine green beans".
Me, I rub a little then to remove the glue. And here it is in its most beautiful aspect: chiseled aluminum.
Haven't you seen the soil?
Here is the work, I have all my flower pots. I just have to drill a few holes the bottom of my can so that my plant can breathe easily. And now to gardening!
We take our little plant and put it in our tin can with soil, as if we were making a planter.
Here is already a plant made. I just have to keep going until I get a whole row of flowerpots to put on my shelves.
You can also suspend them. In this case, I take string and I pass it around my can.
Then I hang my string on the porch of my house, for example. This way I get a pretty garland of plants that sway in the wind. Isn't that wonderful?
