HOW TO MAKE IT

Found something to work with? Paint an old black bag with textile or leather paint in a cheerful colour. On the inside, attach a plastic bag and fill it with water, to hydrate your flowers. Why not spray paint a milk can in one bright colour and then decorate it with a nice print, or stick cheerfully-coloured fruit stickers onto a bucket?
