I’m always on the lookout for cute little gifts that work for various occasions. This quick and easy little project is just the thing!
Supplies Needed
It doesn’t take much to make a personalized watering can.
- adhesive vinyl in the colour of your choice. I think permanent vinyl works best, but removable vinyl would also work – as long as no one picked at it.
- machine to cut the adhesive vinyl. I have a Cricut Maker
- weeding tool for vinyl
- transfer paper for the vinyl
- watering can – you can get these at hardware stores, gardening stores, or even cute little ones at the dollar store. I prefer a metal one (the vinyl sticks better), with straight sides (it makes the application of the vinyl easier) – but work with whatever you can find.

How to Personalize a Watering Can
- determine your design or graphic – remember you can do both sides of the watering can if you wish
- cut your design out of the adhesive vinyl
- weed your design
- apply your design to the watering can
TIP: depending on the surface, it may seem that your adhesive vinyl may not stick. You can give it a bit of help by blasting it with the heat from a hairdryer. Be sure to let it sit for a day to cure completly.

gift ideas for a personalized watering can.
- birthday gift for the gardener – personalize with a cute or cheeky saying
- Mother’s Day – pair this with a little plant or some fresh cut flowers and a card
- teacher gifts – I loved making these end of the year, teacher gifts.
TIP: don’t purchase the plants too early so that they can be in bloom when it’s presented.
Don’t forget that there are 2 sides to the watering can. You can also have a saying or a name on the other side as well.
