DIY fan shares two easy ways to transform basic Amazon buys – you can make a stunning coffee table AND chic planters
A CRAFT lover has revealed how you can turn trash cans into a stunning coffee table, as well as expensive-looking planters for your garden.
Home transformations can oftentimes cost hundreds, if not thousands – but according to one DIY fan, Arin Solange, you only need one item – a basic trash can.
Arin, who regularly shares tips and tricks, claimed that you can use a cylindric trash can to create both a sturdy coffee table, as well as a chic planter for outdoors.
For the table that’s perfect for your living room, Arin, from Missouri, the US, had nabbed three plastic bins from Amazon.
Although the craft enthusiast did not reveal how much she had spend on hers, the online retailer offers various designs, starting from as little as £9.99.
The mum then took these in her garden where she used black spray paint to give them a fresh look.
”Then we grabbed a coffee table from IKEA – but you can honestly used any coffee table top you want.
”Group the three trash cans on the bottom and attach them with that adhesive and one screw, and you have a gorgeous coffee table that looks super high end.
”We absolutely love this.”
Feeling inspired? Why don’t you also try her next bin glow-up project – a glam planter?
Again, you will start by spraying them – but this time, with a textured wall spray that’s followed by paint.
You can use any colour to best match your preference – Arin opted for black.

”And you have gorgeous outdoor planters that you’re going to love for a fraction of the price – hopefully, these inspire you.”
According to the mum not only are the DIY projects affordable but also so easy, she reckoned anyone could do them.
The short clip, uploaded on TikTok, soon went viral, racking up over 9k likes and dozens of comments.
One fan of the end result said: ”Count me inspired. In the market for planters.”
