So i coated it with a primer for metal surfaces, I let it dry, and then I applied a second coat of white acrylic, polyurethane, metal and wood enamel, mixed with a few drops of green acrylic color.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then I took my oil colors and painting brushes and I tried to paint it like those old metal teapots, which used to be trendy when my watering can was in its prime. I made 4 or 5 holes on the bottom using a hammer and a big nail, I filled it with soil, I planted a flower in it, and my Watering can repurpose was ready.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though I loved this old fellow very much, I returned it to its original owner where it belongs, to find its place in the house where it spent its youth, resting in a familiar garden, now as a flower pot getting its payback, no longer watering but being watered instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This old, tin, Watering can\u00a0repurpose was made for\u00a0my mother\u2019s friend Jenny.
