Ok ok…so what’s cuter than a potted cactus in a windowsill? A potted cactus in a windowsill in an upcycled can wrapped in botanical wallpaper, that’s what. Then slap on a little label reminding you what kind of sunlight the plant needs and how much to water it? Well, then it’s downright jungalicious.
Here’s what you need. We used our new removable wallpaper tiles from Hygge & West in Aja and Nana for the wrap.
Materials:
- Removable wallpaper
- Printable plant labels
- Canned food
- Can Opener
- Printer
- Ruler
- Pen or Pencil
- Glue or Rubber Cement
- Scissor
- Cacti or/and Succulents
- Desert plant dirt
Steps:
- Empty the food out of the cans, take the label off, and clean out the can
- On the backside of your removable wallpaper, measure and mark out the dimensions of the can label
- Regular can: 10″ x 4 1/8″
- Large can: 13 1/8″ x 4 3/8
- Cut out your removable wallpaper
- Peal a corner of the wallpaper and line it up on the can
- Slowly start pealing it back and aligning it to your can
- Print out your plant labels and cut them out
- Glue or rubber cement each one to the outside of each can
- Write the type of plant it is only with care instructions
- Circle the amount of sun it needs
- Fill up the dirt to desired amount
- Carefully put your plant in the can and the surround it with dirt

These are so easy to make and they would also make lovely gifts or tabletop decor / takeaways for your dinner guests. You could even use the rest of your wallpaper tiles as a table runner and then use the plants as a centerpiece!
Happy planting!
