Step-by-Step Execution Guide
-
Clean empty steel food cans (like coffee or soup cans), removing labels and adhesive residue with warm soapy water.
-
Spray the exterior of the cans with metallic champagne-gold or rose-gold spray paint.
-
Drill two small drainage holes in the bottom, or place a 1-inch layer of small gravel at the base.
-
Fill cans with succulent potting mix and plant 2 to 3 assorted live echeveria and sedum succulents.
-
Top the soil with fine white decorative pea pebbles.
-
Group three cans of varying diameters together on a pastel table runner.

Pro Craft Tip
File down any sharp inner metal rims on recycled cans with coarse sandpaper before painting to ensure safe handling during assembly.
