Check out my Bloom where you are planted tin flower bucket craft. I use a galvanized flower bucket that I printed my SVG file on my Cricut maker machine.
A metal pail flowers craft to put fake flowers or a plant in, or a real plant or flower. This would be a wonderful Mother’s Day or May Day gift. I added fresh flowers into mine.

Craft Tips and FAQs
What kind of vinyl is Cricut vinyl?
The Cricut machine uses Oracal 651 vinyl. This is the vinyl that all cutting machines even a Silhouette Machine uses?
If your printable vinyl gets wet it can get ruined. For me with this planter craft, what I find is good is to place on a covered porch. Or you can gift this for a home gift.
