Conserving water has never been so important and today I want to show you how to make your own rain barrel with a few things you can pick up at Walmart.

To start this project, I headed to my local Walmart to grab a small waste container that came with a lid.

You will want a lid with a nice concave curve which will be best for collecting the rainwater.

Turn the lid upside down and place a piece of scrap wood under the middle area.

Drill two holes into the lid. You will want to use a minimum size of one inch for the drill bit so that the water will quickly enter the can. Drill at least two spots as closeto the lowest part so there will not be any standing water.
