Transform cans destined for the blue bin into quirky planters that work perfectly as a casual display. Build a dynamic cluster by choosing cans in a variety of shapes and sizes, and potting a drought-tolerant succulent in each. Corral them on a simple tray to create an easy-to-care-for modern grouping.
What we used: One small wooden tray, six cans of varying sizes, one handful of rocks, six succulents (two of each variety)
