I don’t know if anyone remembers from a zillion years ago (ok actually 3 years ago) when I wrote out the tin can tutorial? I thought it worth mentioning that all the cans that I bothered to paint with acrylic back then are still going strong. I think they have weathered up nicely, there is hardly any rust. This year they are being used for nasturtiums.

the tin can idea could be older than the hills but i’m so glad you posted about it! it’s a great idea! and the red is a great color.
I’m a BIG red fan :)
I also wrote about reusing tin can recently.

How cool! I like your can.
I am trying to study Japanese a the moment, I am only at a very beginner stage though :)
your tin-pots look adorable, great idea!

Thank you Kristina :)
Thanks for re-sharing this Alice! ~ It prompted me to make my own tin can pot for my windowsill coriander :)
I’ve uploaded a pic of the results of my efforts for you to see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thischicken/4821399802/
(the paint is a bit streaky, but I think that adds to it’s charm!)
I am so glad it was useful and I really like your version :D
they look really neat! i think i’m going to use old coffee cans in my kitchen garden.
That sounds like a great idea, I wish I had some bigger cans like coffee ones :)
I love pots like that!
Thank you for your birthday wish Alice!
No problem, I hope that you had a great day :)
