Dollar Tree Industrial Wall Hanging
I love a challenge so when I saw a wall container at Hobby Lobby, I thought I could make the same thing for way less money so off to the Dollar Tree I went. It was very busy but I went straight to the kitchen section where no one else was!😊 I picked up two pans and I knew I could use them to make my project! Let me show you how easy this is!
Grab these two containers while you’re there and some succulents to decorate it! A cake pan and the to go trays which come as a 3 pack.
We will be using only the silver lid from one of the to go containers so you’ll have the rest for later or to make more 😊
Cut the circle from the lid ⭕️ in 1/2 about 4.5” down
Use a ruler to make a straight line and cut with scissors
Now that you have that cut, hot glue it to the edge of the pan. If it’s not perfect just use a pencil and trace the edge of the pan and cut to fit.
Now I took it outside and spray painted it. I had this antique pewter kit that was silver spray and a gray paint
Apply the dark gray on with a sponge brush
Then I used a damp paper towel and blotted it all over
Like this
I used the sponge again and did the edges a little bit more
I sprayed it with a clear matte top coat and let it dry again.
I thought it was looking good
Lastly, I added succulents and it was done!
I hot glued a hook on the back and here it is on my wall. I love it and it only cost $2 for the container. I added succulents I already had and some more that I purchased from the Dollar Tree so you could make this for about $7 if you use all Dollar Tree succulents.😊 Not bad for about an hour of work!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
This is tempting. Can one have too many succulents in their house? I already have quite a few. Why not more? You set a good example.
Doesn’t the front take out lid deteriorate from being moist?
I love it and easy to do. Anything to do with displaying plants is good ideas. I want the State of Missouri wall hanging.
