Use leftover tins for a DIY vertical garden planter.

This is a lovely way to transform a bare fence and a fun garden project to do with children.

Make sure you use a toy-safe metal paint.

Make drainage holes in the bottom of each tin with a hammer and nail and another hole near the top to hang it on the fence.

Fill the tin with compost and one plant, such as a pansy or snapdragon.

Hammer some nails into your fence and hang up your tins for a colourful display.
