Painted Milk Can Planter
Don't settle for generic planters from a box store. Your flowers and garden are unique and beautiful, so you should plant them in something special like a Painted Milk Can Planter. If you are looking to add a vintage feel to your garden, scour the antique and skulk around garage sales until you can find the perfect soon-to-be planter. Your upcycled garden will be unlike any others on the block and you can add a beautiful stencil to make it even more pretty. Make your garden especially beautiful with this cute small garden idea.

A great idea to use a nice piece of agricultural history to spruce up your garden or deck space. Living in Wisconsin, in dairy country, I have seen many of these for sale at garage sales and in antique malls. I think it would be okay even to leave a can weathered and gray and it would look rustic that way.

I have two of these milk canisters that I actually use as table bases for our patio. I bought them at a yard sale for five dollars!! They are pretty scruffy, and actually starting to rust from the elements. Painting them.will give them a new look and help to protect them from the weather.

I prefer unusual planters to the run of the mill ones available in stores - have a couple of milk cans and cream cans painted so they won't rust now my unique planters are totally personalized - thank you for the idea and directions
