The art of the painted olive oil tin!

Take and empty tin of olive oil
Give it a coat of paint
Fill it with soil
Add some Geranium cuttings
Water, feed and then wait for the sun to do its magic!





You will be richly rewarded.
So simple!

  2. Yes, they are very pretty, very picturesque. My grandmother used to have them. Just paint, punch a hole on the bottom to let the water out, and it’s ready for flowers. Brings back lots of memories…

  7. I drool when I see the olive tins for sale in Greece and wish to high heaven I had a way to bring them home so my taste of Greece would linger long after the trip ended. Beautiful reminder you provided today~
