Making Paper Pots

Make sure your can does not have any sharp edges!!!  

What a great way to recycle...but beware your hands will get extremely dirty with newspaper print ink.

We used the Aspen Paper w/o staples
Folded it in 1/2 vertically

Start to roll around the can leaving 1/3-1/2 off the can

This flap will be folded in


Fold it into the can

Pull it off the can

Push the cuff that was created downward to create a bottom
It will look like a paper cup

Use a glass to really push down on the bottom
to crease the bottom well so it holds shape

Here it is!
Fill with dirt and plant!
