DIY Easy to Make Copper Tube Pan Succulent Planter Using Spray Paint

Okay yes, I’m obsessed with copper spray paint. It’s still very cold out here so I’ve had to get creative with how to do a project outside but I’ve managed to get the job done. I’ll say it again this paint is brilliant it has a shine just like real metal, covers most of the time in one coat, and dry time is faster than any spray paint I’ve ever used. Well-done Rust-Oleum! Oh and did I mention I’ve made several projects from just one can?

I found the tube pan at a local thrift shop for 50¢ and had planned on making a beauty ring for my camera. Well that never happened and it was collecting dust in my craft stash so I decided to give it a new purpose by turning it into a copper succulent planter.

With winter lingering on I needed a fresh look on the coffee table so I created a vignette with my new planter, (if you missed it click here). I don’t know if it works this way for you, but for me a simple change like adding flowers or plants give the place life again and seems to keep me aware that spring will be here soon.

What I did:

  • Spray-painted the tube pan in copper paint
  • Added fish tank pebbles to the pan
  • Used faux succulent plants pushed down into the pebbles

It couldn’t be easier and I think my green brown thumb can handle it. I can grow things outside but I can kill an indoor plant faster than anyone I know. I think I’m an overwater-er but not certain on that so I just leave my gardening skills to the great outdoors and stick with the faux version for inside.

    Your succulent display looks lovely Dawn. I used the spray paint in silver last year to make a gazing ball for the garden. There was lots so spray a few other things too and I think I still have some left in the can for a project for this year.

      Linda how did it hold up in the garden? I was wanting to use it outside too but wasn’t sure if it was durable enough, and would be anxious to hear.

        It did well in the garden over the summer and I bring it into the garage for winter storage, so we’ll see how it looks when it goes back in the garden this spring. Here is the link to it

        I don’t have a gazing ball but I did find a bowling ball at the goodwill, I painted it with the metallic paint and put it out in my yard. It’s been out there for about 3 years now and looks as good as the first day I put it out there. It holds it’s color really well.

    Dawn, your photographs of this project are stunning, and I would have never guessed that the succulents were faux! I will have to pick up a can of this copper metallic paint at the store. It’s so pretty!

      Jane I’ve seen that paint in the other metal finishes and they’re all stunning. I think it’s a hit with me that’s for sure. I have one other project to share using it.

    We have a shop in town that only sells succulents. I think I need to stop by and find plants.

    Love this! I’m an easy mark for anything succulent related. They are my fave, probably because I can’t kill them! Visiting from Silver Pennies party.
