Watering Cans...

emster86 · September 2014

So I'm on a budget and looking for a few cute watering cans for some decor for the wedding. Just throwing this out here in case anyone has seen any for a reasonable price? All the ones I like are around $20/each. Yikes. I would like an average size that can have a floral arrangement in it. I am looking for a metal one, not plastic. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Something similar to below:

I've seen them in thrift stores which would be the best place if you can get them there. Other than that, Ebay is always an option. I've seen a couple on Etsy too.

Oh, look at antique stores too!

Have you tried Home Depot?

@vulpiepop Thanks! I did look at some antique stores... no luck for a bargain. It's so overpriced for that kind of thing where I live. I'll have to try ebay.

@Lauderdale Pink I'll have to try looking places like Home Depot, Lowes etc.. We live in a rural area so it's at least an hour to get to most places. I did check Lowe's but no luck.

Places like Michael's might have them. The prices won't be amazing but there are always coupons. It's not ideal when you can't check back regularly but it's worth a look.

Thanks @wandajune6 ... I always go armed with coupons so here's hoping

Have you tried looking online?

Ikea may also have some you can order online. You could also try purchasing kiddy cans and spray painting them with a metallic paint.

I never thought of spray painting them! Thanks! Also, I did check a couple places online but you found some I didn't! Thanks

I had the HARDEST time finding exactly the same thing for my wedding. MIL and SIL found some really cute ones at Marshalls for about $6 that had citronella candles in them that we took out. We could only find a few of them though so for the rest I bought these on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CLBIUVM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. They are a bit narrow and not as shiny as I wanted, but that was what I could find.

We also tested spray painting some cheap metal ones from target. Those came out okay too.

Aaand for whatever reason the florist didn't even end up using them...

Thanks so much!

They have them at Hobby Lobby, use your 40% off coupon or wait for the 50% off sales and the prices won't be too bad! Something like this: http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/silver-iron-watering-can-with-spout-881888/

Thanks guys! We have a Hobby Lobby close by. I might have to check them out sometime. I've never heard of Menards? (I'm from PA) Also, we don't have an Ikea nearby but those are really cute.. too bad you can't order them online!!!
