Paint Can Flower Pot

Here's a great way to reuse an old paint can by making a nifty painted planter. You could also use a new paint can which you can purchase in the paint section of your home improvement store.

Materials Needed:

• old paint can
• spray paint
• stencil
• acrylic paint
• florist foam
• flowers real or fake
• Spanish moss
• sealer (optional)

Directions:

1. Spray paint the paint can and let it dry.
2. Then stencil on your favorite picture or paint it free hand. Let dry.
3. If you use fake flowers, stick the flowers in the florist's foam and place in the can. Arrange Spanish moss inside and around the flowers.
4. If using real flowers, fill the can with dirt and plant your flowers.
5. If you want to use it outside, seal the can to preserve the painting. You may also want to punch a few holes in the bottom for drainage.
