Free Flowerpots!

If you're anything like me, you hate to spend a ridiculous amount of money on little things. Especially if you know there is way to get them much cheaper! For example, flowerpots. I refuse to pay $5+ PER pot, and I need a lot of pots. So I got my gears to turning and I came up with a simple solution. Cans!
  I work in a kitchen and there are always tons of #10 cans just being thrown away every  day, why not salvage them and give them a makeover. Its pretty simple actually, Step 1: obtain can(s) You can use whatever size your plants need.
 Step 2: Peel away paper. Sand or scrub off any glue. Make sure the cans are dry or you'll have an uneven finish. Punch drain holes in the top with a hammer and nail. Be careful!

Step 3: Choose your paint. I  used bright summery colors, you could also use chalkboard paint, stone finish, or whatever your scheme is.

Step 4:

Paint away! I used 2+ coats. Remember these are going to being sitting outside...

Step 5:

Let dry. This is the hardest part for me, the waiting part. I hate waiting.

Step 6:

Fill with potting soil and plant to your little heart's desire.

You could also paint a base coat with one color and then section off lines with masking tape for a striped effect or come up with your own ideas!

That's it! I told you it was easy! And you'll be recycling!
