Okay, so today I decided to tackle this whole “bloom watering can” thing. I saw it online and thought, “Hey, that looks neat, let’s give it a shot!”
First things first, I needed a watering can. I just grabbed a cheap plastic one from the garden shed. I’m sure I got this at the home depot or lowes, I don’t remember. I recommend having a few extra on hand just in case you have a hiccup during your DIY process.
Gathering Supplies
- The Watering Can: Like I said, plain old plastic.
- Flowers: I picked up a bunch of fake flowers at the local craft store. I’m not exactly a great gardener myself, so I wanted to choose something that looked good but didn’t need an expert to maintain.
- Some string: We use this to come out of the watering can nozzle.
Putting It Together
I began to tie the string together in a way that when it came out of the watering can, it would look like flowing streams of water. I did this by placing the flowers on the end of the string.
Then, I made sure to fill the inside of the watering can with the remaining flowers to make it look like a full blown garden was coming from within.
The best way to find success with this project is to get creative! There is no set way to create this!
It took a bit of fiddling to get the flowers and string to flow right. I found my process and I stuck to it. You’ll likely find yours too.
Honestly, it was a fun little afternoon project. It adds a bit of whimsy to the garden, and it wasn’t difficult at all. Might even try a bigger one next time!
