Eclectic Home: Tin Can Planter

Growing up, my grandpa and father both had huge gardens.  Every day during summer we'd go out and water the plants, and come fall our table would groan under bushels and baskets full of green beans, peas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, and peppers.

Now that I'm living in an apartment, I don't have a yard where I can grow vegetables, but I still want to grow things.  Hence this planter!  It's small enough to fit in my window, incredibly customizable and easy to make cute, and since it's tin, even if my cat knocks it over, it won't break.  You also get to feel like an earth-conscious hippie (even if you aren't), because you can reuse a can instead of throwing it away!  Below are some basic instructions; use your own taste and style to make a cute planter of your own!
