Concentrate the buttons in the middle of the vase― when it’s filled with flowers, the upper edge won’t be visible.

YOU’LL NEED: 

  • Tin can
  • Sandpaper
  • Spray paint
  • Buttons
  • Hot-glue gun
1. Sand down the rim of the can until it’s smooth, with no jagged edges.

2. Paint the can and allow to dry, then follow steps 2 and 3 from “Embellish a border,” above.
