Recycling / Upcycling tins and rocks to make cute plant pots

in #gardening3 years ago

Got lots of tins in your kitchen? Me to, especially coconut milk!

This fun and simple project is great for children and adults as a way of making plant pots for your house.

The end product

This is a simple version of the project, you could use different colours and sizes of rocks to create your own master piece.

Steps to success

1 - find small pebbles or rocks.
2 - paint them, it could be easier to spray paint, but I choose to hand paint.
3 - After they have dried glue gun them on to the tin in your choice of pattern.
4 - paint the gaps on the tin.

Thank you for the feature :) I can't wait to read more of your newsletters :)

We usually use the glass jars and upcycle or re-use those, but the tin pots looks neat also.
Thanks for this idea 😊

Thanks, I have loads of tins. Glass jars I love, but I need to remember to clean them sometimes!

Hahaha yeah I sometimes forget to wash the glass jars also, but the trick is to put them with the dishes so you could wash them directly with your dishes 😉
