3D Papercraft Watering Can

Following on from my previous post, where I introduced you to my hexagonal florist box, I decided to use the main design of the box and turn it into a watering can!

Isn't it beautiful!

Easy to assemble, this fabulous 3D watering can is perfect for displaying small paper flowers or for gifting sweet treats! Ideal for wedding favours, bridal showers, birthday parties and so much more, the template is available through my Etsy shop as both SVG and PDF.

To make one of your own, you will need:

* Watering Can template (SVG and PDF available)

* Computer and printer to print the PDF template and instructions

* Digital cutting machine

* Double-sided cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)

* Patterned paper or card for the decorative panels

* Craft glue / double-sided tape

If you are not using a cutting machine you will also need:

* Craft knife / scissors

* Scoring tool

* Ruler

Watch my video tutorial below, showing how to assemble the watering can.

I made this one out of silver mirror card (without the decorative panels) to look like a metal watering can. I also debossed tiny polka dots onto the end rose to look like little holes.

I made another, slighter larger version and, instead of debossing, I used dotty patterned paper for the end rose. You could also draw the little holes on, if you wish.

Don't forget, you can find the template for this watering can in my Etsy shop, and I would love to see what you create with it.

Happy crafting!
