The only problem is, my heavy metal supply (AC/DC, KISS??) is in storage due to the house selling business.
So I cheated ever so slightly...
I used something metal that had survived the "packing it away to sell" frenzy--a metal drawer liner intended to hold dry goods such as flour.
I left it as is, a little imperfect like me.
I stenciled the word Grow. on it, using Fusion Mineral Paint in Seaside.
I then sprayed it with Helsman clear spray and screwed two holes in the back and added picture hanging wire.
I threw a few aluminum cans in the bottom, and then planted it up.
In a week or so, it will be in full bloom and the flowers will start to cascade out the front and I will smile.

And now we would love to see your metal projects. Please link them up here and remember to include a link back to Beyond The Picket Fence.
Such a cute, creative projects! I'm proud of both of us getting our projects done despite the craziness of moving! We deserve a cookie! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it Becky! And really it's not a cheat - it was made from sheet metal right? Just because you didn't make it doesn't change the fact it was sheet metal to start with :)
ReplyDeleteBecky it is adorable! I love anything metal and I love how you are telling the plants to just "grow"!
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a great idea. That is the perfect grow box!!
ReplyDeleteall of these projects are awesome xx
ReplyDeleteThough you didn’t have any heavy metal, at least you found an aluminum can, and turn it into a hanging flower pot and it turned out really good. It actually makes a beautiful house decoration. I believe it's tough to use metals as decors and that's why I'm glad that you took this challenge, Becky. Good job! :)
