Address #s Potted Plants

I got the idea of this from a neighbor near the family I work with.


  I bought these bins at Dollar Tree for $1.00 each. Then I used an Ikea mailer to cut out the numbers of my address. I drew them freehand.

I used Windex as "glue" to hold the paper to the bin without leaving a residue.


 Then I used white spray paint from Walmart ($0.97)

 I peeled off the paper after about a minute, while the paint was still wet so it wouldn't peel the paint too. It's ok if it's drippy and runny.


Then I used acetone from Sally's (on sale $4.99) and a Q-tip to clean up the edges.

Tada!

 I bought these cubes from Dollar Tree. I left the plastic on them to protect it from the elements outside, or so I hope.

 I pushed in these colorful flowers I bought at Dollar Tree ($8.00 total). Then I glue gunned the bottom of the cubes to the inside of the bins to help keep them in place. I also put pieces of tile in the bins to weight them down.
