It's almost Cinco de Mayo friends! In honor of the Mexican holiday which is widely celebrated here in Southern California, I whipped up some fun Salsa Can Succulents and decorated them with some diy papel picado flags.
This brand of salsa is sold in grocery stores in my area and I bought the small 7-3/4 ounce size cans. It’s not really salsa, it’s tomato sauce used for cooking yummy Mexican dishes. Think tomato sauce with a kick!
I have plenty of succulents on my patio so it was just a matter of choosing which ones I wanted to clip and plant.
I liked this fierce little guy. I found him in a pot I had neglected for months happily growing next to his mom.
The other two plants are some of my favorite succulents. I love the pale green and pink tones of the middle plant and the leggy plant reminds me of seaweed.
For a festive touch, I made some miniature papel picado flags. Papel picado means “perforated paper” and it a traditional folk art in Mexico.
I love these fun, festive little planters. They would make great party décor or party favors for your next fiesta!
If you celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Ooh, I'm so attracted to great advertising on can labels, and I love the way you've used these little ones. I used to have a whole lot of olive oil cans (who knew there are hundreds of brands in bright, shiny cans?) displayed on top of my kitchen cabinets, but when we remodeled, I used that space for more storage. Now I have only one tiny mustard tin. You always make the simple look so elegant - and useful.
