DIY Tea Tin Planter

DIY Tea Tin Planter | Dressed In OrangeI’ve been seeing tea tin planters popping up all over Pinterest, and since I had all the supplies on hand, I decided to create my very own.  I cleaned out a Harney & Sons tin that was sitting in my pantry and drilled holes through the bottom to let water escape.

Once planted, I added a bit of moss and watered.  This darling little creation is now sitting pretty in my bedroom window.
