Don’t Kick the Can

Before recycling those soup cans, get one more great use out of them; turn them into quaint vases for your garden or country wedding.

1. Select undented cans of similar sizes. Thoroughly clean and remove labels and any residual glue.

2. Fasten ribbon or raffia around the can mid way down.

3. Fill with water and your choice of flowers.

Don’t forget to recycle the cans after the wedding.

I was so excited when I stumbled across this wonderful vintage floral website. Yes, I love vintage pieces; they are just so unique and offer up a very distinctive look for your wedding. Best of all, by buying vintage you are reusing.

These gorgeous daisies are from 1950′s old store stock and still have their original tag attached. Each bloom has four layers of curled fabric petals and a butter yellow center. This generous bouquet of 12 flowers only costs $6.50.
