Vintage Can Stick Planter

This is a very quick and easy project that anyone can do! 

Today I'm recycling a few pieces I had in the workshop to create a cute repurposed planter to stick in an outdoor pot. 

Take a look...

I began with a plunger stick, you can get them at Dollar Tree but any kind of thick wooden dowel will work. 

As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links that will take you to more information and the products I used for this project. Also the READ MORE sections will take you to related Homeroad projects. 

Just a hint... my plunger stick had a label on it that was hard to remove so I grabbed a hair dryer and blasted the sticker for just a minute and it came right off! 

I'm also using the wooden top of a candle, a rusty vintage coffee can and a length of braided ribbon. You can often find old coffee cans at antique stores. 

The first thing I did was to drill a hole in the center of the candle top and the top of the wooden plunger stick. I used wood glue and a long screw to attach them. 

I made another project a while back using a vintage coffee can that came out very cute too! You can the DIY for these projects by visiting the blue links. 

Here is another planter I made using a chair spindle! I can hardly wait until the plants are blooming in our area but I'm getting ready!!

Lastly, I attached the wooden candle top with the stick to the bottom of the coffee can using E6000 glue. 

That's it. You can certainly paint the stick if you want to too but I'm leaving mine natural. 

Please pin for later ---->>

It is early Spring in New York so we don't have any plants ready to go yet. I'm demonstrating this planter stick in an old repurposed galvanized pot with faux greenery. You can just imagine how pretty it will look with the pot filled with flowers!
