Popcorn Tin to Planter Spring Craft

Today I’m excited to share an easy DIY spring project to get you thinking outside the box about planters. I am going to upcycle two different planters with Rust-Oleum’s Imagine Stone Effects Spray Paint. One is a ceramic planter I picked up on sale from Michael’s craft store. The other is actually a popcorn tin!! Enjoy this planter spring craft and let me know if you give it a try.
DIY Popcorn Tin Planter
This popcorn tin first needed a base coat so I used Rust-Oleum Imagine Chalk spray paint in White Linen. This spray paint had an extremely matte sheen which felt just like chalk paint to the touch! After about five light coats, the whole popcorn tin was opaque.
When this paint had dried fully, I taped off where I wanted my stone texture spray paint to give the effect of a cement-dipped look. For the popcorn tin planter I used the color Pebble and for the black planter I sprayed the color Gray. The Rust-Oleum Imagine Stone Texture spray paints are available at Joann craft stores if you’re interested to try them yourself! Watch the video above for a full tutorial on how to successfully use them.
DIY Spring Planters
When the multiple coats of stone texture spray paint had dried a few hours, the tape and plastic could be removed to reveal my beautiful design! I love how the black one looks dipped in cement and the pebble stone effect adds texture to the popcorn tin. I put a plastic insert inside the black planter for drainage. The popcorn tin planter I drilled holes in the bottom and then used the lid as a drain tray for excess water. After filling with plants and potting soil the next day, this is what I ended with!
Planter Spring Craft
This planter spring craft is so easy anyone can do it! I hope I inspired you to customize planters in your home and think outside the box for items that can become planters with a bit of spray paint. Until next time!
