What better to do than make original planters with materials we all have laying around in the house, easily and fast, and even let the kids help you. My daughter had so much fun helping me make these! It’s recycling with a beautiful result…
What you are going to need
Tin cans (I used the ones I had from my daughter’s cream)
Newspaper of magazines (whatever you prefer)
Scissors
White glue
Brush
Lace trim
Can opener
Procedure
First you cut the newspaper into middle sized pieces. Try to choose parts of the paper with photos or with “happy articles”.
Dilute the glue with some water. For example use one part glue and one part water. Use the brush to apply the diluted glue onto your tin can and then start gluing the pieces of paper.
Then brush over the paper with some more glue. It is possible that you’ll need two layers or paper in order for the tin can not to be visible at all.

Τέλεια ιδέα – ζήτω οι δαντελίτσες!!! Και τα παχύφυτα δεν θέλουν και καθόλου φροντίδα! ♥
