Colorful Upcycled Planters to Brighten Your Garden
"These upcycled tin can planters will brighten up your garden or patio even on the dullest of days. I used paper napkins of my favorite designer Marimekko. These Finnish prints are so bright and colorful and look great together. You can easily buy mixed packs of napkins on eBay. You only need one paper napkin per tin. The tins are then sealed with an acrylic varnish so they can be used outdoors. All you need to do is plant them with your favorite summer flowers."
Materials List
- Mod Podge
- Tin Cans
- Paper napkins
- Acrylic varnish
