We go through a lot of baby formula feeding the twins so I am always trying to think good ways to reuse the mountain of empty cans that accumulate. Then, recently my mum brought up a bunch of succulent cuttings from her garden and so began my first project, formula tin succulent pots.
Quick dry enamel spray paint in pink and "mandarin". 3 coats of the pink and 4 coats of yellow.
Drainage holes punched into the bottom with a carving fork. This was my husband's idea, I was going to use a drill. But I have to admit this was a quick and easy solution.
Add succulent potting mix, succulents and pebbles, and voila! I think they look pretty cute.

Love it! They look great! Hopefully I'll succeed in getting some curtains hung today - I need to saw a metal pole to size and not looking forward to it.
