Hi all! Today I am going to share some funny face tin can planters. One of my favorite items to upcycle is tin cans, their free and I always have some on hand. And there is so many things that you can make with tin cans. I’ve made pencil holders, patriotic décor, wind clankers, pumpkins and more. I am making these funny face tin planters for a sale that I am going to have with a friend.

Diy Funny Face Tin Can Planters
Start by cleaning some cans with warm soapy water.
Next, give them two coats of chalk paint. Letting each coat dry thoroughly.
Use a pencil to draw a different face on each can.
Use acrylic paint for the funny face tin can planters. (Painting faces on these cans was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, because of the grooves of the cans).
Once the faces are all dry, use a old paint brush and splatter some black paint over each can. Then give each can a coat of Mod Podge.
Punch two holes in each can for the handles.
Annealed wire, wood beads, and wood spools were used for the handles. One spool, and two beads for each handle. I used the handle of a paint brush to add the curves in the wire handles.
For the funny face tin can planters I use sedum, and a spider plant for their hair. That’s it for this project, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they sale at the plant sale.

I suspect your plant sale is going to be a huge success. I would buy these in an instant without even looking at the plant inside. Theyre adorable.
Thanks Michelle! I thought they would be a hit, but not so much. I did sell two. Our first sale at my friends house we did pretty good on it. The sell at my house should of went well because more traffic to see the sign, right off a main road. But someone pulled up our sign I’m guess sometime mid-morning because we didn’t get anyone after that. We were so disappointed.
