Recycling old cans

 

 

 

 

Recycle old cans into reusable plant holders!

 

By taking your leftover food cans out of the recycling bin and bringing out some paint you can easily create a new plant holder. They work great  in the kitchen as herb plant holders and, with white-board labels new plants can easily be added and the label can be changed.

try making your own window clings!
