Tin can flower pot
I love tin cans as you may know by now! I have a big collection and use them often in my creative work. Today I was dreaming about spring flowers ( it`s snowing outside...) and that gave me a great urge to create a flower pot. From a tin can of course.... Some of my collection....
2. Trace your template to the tin and cut it out. Use your sanding paper to soften the edges.
3.Paint your tin in any color you like. Depends a bit on the flowers you are going to put in it I guess. If you want to you can paint it on the inside too.
4.Decorate you tin. I used printed photos and decoupage glue. I also glued on some text. If you plan on giving it away you can personalize it to fit the receiver.
Just plant some flowers in it and voila - finished. I plan to put some spring bulbs in mine.
Now I leave you for the weekend. Hope you have a creative one!

You need: A tin can (of course), a heavy duty nibbler for dismantling the tin can and a not so heavy duty flush cutter for cutting out the pattern. You also need a sanding paper.
1. Make a template. I made a crown.
