Upcycled Can Pansy Planter
$1
8 Minutes
Easy
These fun little planters are a beautifully simple and inexpensive gift for teachers, bus drivers and neighbors. The total cost for making one will depend on what your craft stockpile looks like. I have a pretty extensive hoard of craft stuff... but most of the supplies that you need for this one are pretty basic. We made nine total planters and it didn't cost me anything more than the cost of the pansies- $7.99! That is less than $1 a pop for a cute handmade gift that is way better than giving junk food or just another "world's best teacher" mug.

All of the directions are in this video. We talk you through it step by step. Tips, supply lists, tricks to make them safe and to prevent water rings on your table are also included.
We even made cute little tags to go on our planters. Directions for these are also in the video.
We completed this project with a group of 5 year olds! Super easy with a cute result!

Such a cute video—and team of helpers.

And who wouldn't like a pretty container of pansies? These would make nice "May Day" gifts for the neighbors, too. :)
