I spent a long weekend off work staying with some friends and we had a great time heading to the garden centre and doing some serious plant shopping! I thought I’d share our little project here as it was really fun and our finished products look lovely. This is such an easy way to add a bit of colour to any home and also a great way to recycle used tin cans!

What you will need;

– Small cactus/succulents,

-Empty tin cans beer/fizzy drink/juice etc.

-Tin opener

-Cactus/succulent soil

-Plant mister or mini watering can. I have a glass Sass & Belle Plant Mister which I bought from ASOS I find it much easier to water small plants with a mister, but you can use a small watering can too.

We also bought some soluble cactus/succulent feed, you add a tiny bit of this to your water in your plant mister or watering can, but this isn’t essential. You can find this on Amazon

There are some really nicely designed tin drinks cans out there so to use them as plant pots for your succulents is such a nice idea. This is such an easy project and creates a lovely addition to any home. We used beer cans, the Mikkeller are my favourite, but of course you can choose whichever can you like.

All you have to do is remove the top part of the can with a tin opener and use your succulent soil to carefully plant your choice of succulent inside, so so simple and such a beautiful result!

I think this is such a lovely idea and really wanted to share it with you all. Let me know if you try this and please share your photographs with me if you do.
