We love using recycled items to make festive decorations like these patriotic centerpiece arrangements.  Even the flowers are from an arrangement from last year.    I was going through by patriotic decor looking for ideas for a red white and blue centerpiece and just couldn’t find what I wanted this year.    So I decided to use an old patriotic arrangement and create some fun painted can vases.

You could use just about any size can for this Patriotic centerpiece, depending how big you choose.    And these would be great outside if you placed pebbles or marbles inside as weights.  We have some pretty strong winds around here at the Ranch and I know this centerpiece made with a metal painted can would survive.  

 

What you will need for a painted can centerpiece:

  • 2 empty tin cans, labels removed
  • White paint
  • Red paint
  • Blue paint
  • Masking tape
  • Star stickers
  • Jute twine
  • Flowers

 

How to make the Patriotic Centerpiece:

Make sure the labels are removed from your cans then wash and dry them.  Place on a paper plate or old newpaper to protect you working surface.   Paint your cans white and allow to completely dry.

Use the blue masking tape  to create stripes on one can leaving stripes of white showing through.

When the red paint on the painted can has dried completely, carefully remove the tape.   Then when the blue paint can has dried completely, remove the star stickers very carefully.
