. hole
.Close the can tightly with the plastic lid

.Cut a piece of fabric to wrap around the circumference of the can with 1/4″ overlap
.Make this piece of fabric 1/2 inch longer than the height of the can
Spray the inside of the fabric with spray adhesive and wrap it neatly around the planter, starting flush with the bottom of the
. planter (where the plant comes out), hiding all the duct tape
Fold the extra 1/4″ of fabric over the top lip of the planter (which used to be the bottom) into the recessed portion, adding extra
. adhesive to keep it stuck down if necessary
.Find the two hanger holes with your fingers and use a needle or a nail to poke through the fabric to reopen the holes
.Cut a 5″ piece of wire from the wire hanger and bend the two ends into small u-hooks
.Bend the wire into a “c” shape and hook the ends through the two hanger holes, creating a handle for hanging the planter
