Tin Can Planters

Next, I removed the bottom of the can with a can opener that leaves a non-sharp edge.

Then I figure out where my sides will be before smashing the can.

Next, I slowly start bending the can but not crushing the sides.

To close off the bottom of the can, I place my can on a piece of wood. Then I use a hammer and start hammering the bottom edge closed.

I turn it over and repeat the process.

To make the holes for the handle, I use a metal hole punch.

Next, I paint the can and allow it to dry.

Then I position my transfer in the center front.

Next, I started rubbing the transfer using the wooden tool provided with the transfer.

Note: If you are planting real flowers, line your can with weed block or burlap to hold your soil. Then will with potting mix and your flowers or seeds. There will be small gaps or holes in the bottom for drainage.

You can add painted wood beads or use plain wire for the handle.

Place the wire through the holes to form a hanger or handle.

I like to add a simple ribbon or lace bow to the handle.

Next, I fill the basket with faux flowers using craft foam to hold the flowers in place.
