Okay, so our kid’s school is having a plant sale fundraiser. Last year we hand painted some ceramic pots from the dollar store.

This year, I thought it would be more cost effective (and fun) to use one of these things to utilize soda cans as cost effective planters.

But I’m kind of realizing it would require more dirt than necessary. And if I used a filler at the bottom instead of dirt, it’d still be pretty top heavy.

So my question is this…is there away to cut a soda can in half without a sharp or jagged edge?

Maybe I can look for shorter cans? Other ideas for cost-effective planters?
