Instructions for Making a Tin Can Vase

First up, cut your scrapbook paper to size.  If you have a paper cutter, this is the perfect time to use it.  If you don’t have one, use your scissors to trim your paper, but know that you should add a paper cutter to your craft supply arsenal.  I use mine that’s similar to this one all the time!

After you’ve done that, attach the scrapbook paper to the tin can with the double-sided photo mounting squares.  Make a cute tin can vase and add a dose of happiness to your home decor! Click through for project details and a complete supply list.
Then tie twine or ribbon around the paper. (Twine is one of the 10 craft supplies I recommend you buy at Dollar Tree!  To see the other products, check out this post.)  Make a cute tin can vase and add a dose of happiness to your home decor!

Next, place your floral foam in the bottom of the tin can. Trim your faux floral stems to size and start placing them into the floral foam. I used a variety of stems that I purchased at Dollar Tree and Michaels.  Make a cute tin can vase and add a dose of happiness to your home decor!

  1. I love the “finish” on that can you used… better than the shine of the average can. Pussy willows – love them! I can’t wait for spring to really take off. We keep getting teasers, so I know it is coming:)
