Plants make the best gifts, for pretty much anyone we can think of. Even better if you grow your own, starting from a cutting of your favorite plant, or even pits (avocado or mango pit) or seeds, the gift becomes even more personal.
Now let’s be honest, for these humble gifts, presentation is everything.
We love to reuse tin cans with a fun custom cover. Guaranteed to be a hit! We’ve prepared dozens of different designs for you to choose from and customize, for free. Take your homemade gifts from meh to wow and spread the plant love among your friends and family.
Just download our free editable PDF, choose the pattern you like best, and customize the text. You’re ready to print it out! Make sure you print at 100% size, you’ll get the best results on thicker paper, using a laser printer. Inkjet works too, but be very careful with water, it will ruin your print in no time.
Here are some ideas to customize your own tin can covers for great plant gifts. Grab your scissors and create cute plant gifts for free.
To customize the text or the font on the covers, use a PDF editor such as Acrobat Reader DC (free to download). To change the text, select the text you want to change and press Ctrl + E (win) or Cmd+E (Mac) to bring up the text properties and adjust them to your liking.
The covers are designed to fit standard tin cans, 11cm high and 7,5cm in diameter. Little plastic plant pots with a diameter of 7cm are the perfect fit for the cans. You can often get them for free at plant stores if you ask nicely.

We’ve made a quick video to demonstrate the process for you.
We’ve created these pot covers using patterns designed by the talented Cami Dobrin at www.camidraws.com. They’re meant for your own enjoyment, and not for commercial purposes. Have fun!
