"How beautiful are your flower pots! Where did you buy them? ?" Nowhere.
Total recovery, total trend, this is how my tin cans become flower pots.
I have had an idea. I wanted lots of little flower pots 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 garden 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 takes 7 € .
And since I wanted to have little flowers everywhere, at this pace, I was going to be quickly ruined.
So I went home, knowing that my happiness wouldn't be within reach of my wallet.
And I searched the web for decoration ideas. And I found a perfect one. It was THE thing I had been looking for for a long time:a diversion tin cans .
There are some in the last cupboard of my kitchen, you will tell me. And you will be right. But it's well known, it's sometimes what's in front of our noses that takes centuries to find.
And I had never thought of making flowerpots out of them. While a good can of green beans, or peas, would do just fine.
I finally have what I'm looking for. Now, to prepare this pretty flowerpot preserve, I have to strip her completely naked (yes, completely naked).
For that, I soak it 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:chiselled aluminium.
That's the job, I have all my flower pots. All I need to do is 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.
This 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 hang 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 it wonderful?
