Very elegant. I love how you also made a planter out of the lid. Nothing's wasted!

[dgpowell]

Amazing! Who would ever have thought to do that? Genius move!🤩

[marybrady]

I love this, but before I attempt it, I woud love to know how long the mat stayed on, seems kind of heavy and looks like it may not hold long ??

[vanessaeden]

Very effective use of a dustbin. I agree with the comments it needs a larger plant at the top. You could also get rid of the dustbin lid and plant a nice Acer or rose in the bin.

You'll need a lot more drainage, drill 10-15 holes, cover w/a scrap piece of screen, pea gravel, then soil🌞

I'm gonna try this with table/placemats...I've had this bin upside down as a planttable but came here specifically to make it look nicer...you gave me lots of ideas

[carolel]

The lid could become a hanging basket and the bin is big enuff for dwarf conifer or large shrub...

[kimdotson]

Not a bad idea at all!!!! It just needs a larger plant! Stop being so critical of great ideas! Dont like it dont make it. Move on.

[lisamcdonald]

I actually like this one. If I happen across that type of trashcan and rug, I might even make one.

[dawnruhl]

I see this becoming a water feature! Thanks for the idea!

[lorrieharkey]

Awesome idea think I would paint the mat first in a contrasting color like white, gold or silver. Also would take a peak at placing straight edge along the very inspiring

[bernadettedavis]

I'm screaming ..lol I LOVE IT BEST IDEA YET ...THANK YOUUU

[btyboopersbm]

What a fantastic idea, I love it. I have exactly the same door mat and trash can and I've grown tired of them.. planter here I come .
.thanks..

[brie]

Cool. Thanks. If you don’t care for the top grooves and want another lip, you could fill it in an smooth it with another material and make it a little thicker than the trash can for a more polished look. Lots of possibilities.

[inzedmd]

Great idea, it looks so expensive looking 💓

[curiouslass]

Definitely!! I see this becoming an awesome water feature!!

[JohnnyLycan]
