Hi All! I’m a little behind on getting started on my diy Patriotic succulent tin can planters. It’s been pretty hectic around her lately. Between my day job work picking up for the summer, yard work, normal housework, and my oldest finding out that she is going to have to have surgery. She couldn’t get the help she needed where she lives so she came back to her doctor that she used and delivered her first born when she was living here in the Fort Worth area.

All the previous doctor said nothing was abnormal, but nope things weren’t normal. If only the other doctors would of just went farther then just a regular exam. All that was needed was a sonogram, and insurance would have paid for that.

The doctor was so upset with the other doctors because this problem has been going on for several years, and they were making her believe that it was all in her head. Her doctor wants the names of the other doctors, he may contact them.

She is going to have surgery on one of the doctors non-surgery days because he didn’t have an opening anytime soon, and he was that concern. So hopefully within a few weeks she will be all better and pain free.

Well enough of what’s been going on here, and now let’s get on with my Patriotic succulent tin can planters.

How to Make Patriotic Succulent Tin Can Planters

Start by washing cans, removing labels, and sticky gunk from the cans.

Wrap fabric around cans and mark with pen so that you know where to cut your fabric to fit cans. Cut with a little bit of an overlap.

Use Mod Podge to start gluing the fabric around the cans working small sections at a time lining the fabric edges with the top and bottom edges of the cans.

Finish by gluing down the overlapping of fabric.

Next start gluing the twine around the top of the can starting at the rim and working your way down. I made three twine wrap rolls.

Now go to the bottom and start at the rim and work your way up with three rolls.

Fill the cans up with rocks and place the fake succulent stem down into the rocks to hold it firmly in place.

    Oh shame Linda, I do hope your daughter will be okay and that the surgery goes well. It’s makes me so angry when doctors do such a haphazard job with their patient. It’s almost like they’ve started treating everyone like little sausages in a factory. It’s just wrong. Hopefully her new/old doctor will give them a piece of his mind. Idjuts!!! I’ll be thinking of you guys and sending loads of love from down here in the South.

      Thank you Michelle! I think she is in good hands now and just a few more days all will be good. She should recover pretty quick. They’ve come a long way how they do surgeries with their little microscopes, instead of having to cut you open anymore. I hope he gives them a piece of his mind as well.

    Oops and with me getting all angry with those doctors, I completely forgot to tell you how pretty the tin can planters look too. Love the fabric you choose for them and the twine around the top and bottom rounds it off so nicely

    Very pretty LInda and I really love the addition of the twine. Looking at your pebbles made me realize how much I miss the pebbles from the beaches in Greece.
