5. Painted Cans for Flower Arrangements

These cans are painted with latex paint. File the top edges so there are no rough spots, and then paint them with 2 coats of semi-gloss paint. Let them dry overnight and to use as a vase, put your flowers into a glass that will fit down into the can. Grouping several together like this makes it look quite extravagant.
