I was making new area at my home and spontaneously got some plants. But I had no flower pot for them. I tried to place them in mugs but it didn't looked right. There were few coffee cans at home and I decided to use them. Everything turned out quite nice and I'm planing to make a matching one for a smaller plant. There is a half fool corns can in a fringe that is waiting for its transformation. This is a really fast way to decorate your home with no expenses. You can change it after a time when you are bored of the look and what something new. . It looks nice, And I can change it the same way to another color or add more matching flower pots just by using cans from corns beans or anything else :) Here's a simple tutorial for you.
Measure it so it would have enough height to cover the can. The length should be just enough to wrap it around plus 4 cm more.
Glue one end with packing tape to the can.
Than wrap it around, fold the edge in a little bit and glue it with glue stick.
Check you pattern. I managed to glue it upside down at first :D
For decorating it I took a hand made cameo I had....
... passed a black ribbon through it and wrapped it around.
Thada...
I secured the back with the transparent tape, so the ribbons would not move.
Done!!!
Let me know if you'll use it :)
