Why not make something beautiful out of them? I thought about it and I am also always needing new pots for all my plants. Well, these make for the perfect planter. You just need a few supplies to turn this empty coffee can, into an adorable planter. What you will need:
  1. Empty coffee can
  2. Hot glue gun + glue
  3. Jute
  4. White spray paint
