“Can”-do spirit

July 22, 2009 by Kim Woodward

Here’s another example of using large cans as containers. If you haven’t done it yet, you are totally behind the curve. It’s like big bangs in 1992 – just gotta have them.

I got an email from Betty, a wonderful friend of ours (and the mother of Ryan’s best man). She shared her very own cans that she added to her deck. They turned out awesome!
I love love the black cans with the bright flowers.

And don’t you just love the vine-y stuff coming down? (That’s the technical name for it.) I told her that she will have to help me figure out what to plant next year. I’m not good at choosing plants for pots.Give a big shout-out to Betty! She pretty much rocks our little world.

Have any of the rest of you made any DIY planters for your yard?

If not, you best be getting going on making your own. So easy, I promise.

    I saw a DIY thing today about making your own citronella candles and putting them in cans like that…

    Thanks, Heather. I tried re-loading them. I think I got it figured out but let me know if you still cannot see them.
