Today for Don’t Fear the Fabric<\/a>,\u00a0 Kate<\/a> and I have two simple projects for you.
\nJust some little ideas that you can give as gifts.
\n(or keep for yourself. You like Christmas gifts too)<\/p>\n

And my project involves NO SEWING!
\nYou only need scraps of oilcloth.
\nAnd some pretty plants.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBecause how gorgeous are succulents?!
\nOh I love these plants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThey’re kind of mysterious….part plant, part flower-like, part prickly, part filled-with-water.
\nI almost want to eat them like a cucumber!
\nBut I won’t.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nInstead I’ll use recycled cans from food that I did<\/i> eat…and turn them into little pots for my plants!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because I also love tin can projects.
\nIt’s like canning companies from the past could foresee the DIY future, and knew that moms everywhere would need simple little cans for a variety of projects.\u00a0 And they’d like them for free. Yay!
\nThank you canners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay. These little planters are super easy to make.
\nAnd they’re not just for holding plants.\u00a0 Use them to hold art supplies, pencils, whatever!—and check out my Tin-Can Caddy<\/a> and Tin Can Christmas Trees<\/a> projects for more recycled can ideas.<\/p>\n

The nice thing about using oilcloth here is that the fabric is waterproof, so it’s okay for the planter to get wet when you’re watering plants or if you leave them outside.
\n(For detailed info on Oilcloth fabric read my post How to Sew with Oilcloth<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Here’s what you need:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe concept is basic:
\n\u2022 Remove the wrapper from a recycled food can. Rinse and dry the can.
\n\u2022 Use a butter knife to press down any sharp edges.
\n\u2022 Measure the distance from the top to bottom of the can, then measure around the can and add 1\/2 inch for overlapping the fabric.
\n\u2022 Cut a piece of Oilcloth fabric those dimensions–(for a large pumpkin can or large peaches or tomatoes, that’s 4 3\/8 x 13 inches).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Wrap the fabric around the can and glue one side in place with a hot glue gun.\u00a0 You don’t need much glue….and it’s best to use something other than your finger to press the fabric in place—like the end of a pen or pencil.
\n\u2022 Overlap the other end of the fabric and glue that in place.
\n\u2022 If you’re using this as a planter—rather than a pencil holder—use a hammer and nail to pound a few holes in the bottom for water drainage.<\/p>\n

And you’re done!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThen make more….in different fabrics and different sizes.
\nAnd try some color-blocking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWhen you’re done, grab your favorite plants and flowers.
\nAnd the good news is…you don’t have to pick ONE favorite.\u00a0 Use them all!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThen plant them in your cans and enjoy your little garden.
\nI love how cute they look inside the house on a nightstand.
\nOr outside, in the deck sunshine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And wouldn’t they make such a fun gift to take over to a friend?
\nHappy planting!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNow go make a leather fringe cuff with See Kate Sew<\/a>!<\/p>\n
