I make a lot of confessions on my blog.

Here is another one. 

I collect tin cans like they are going out of style.

I really do.

Coffee cans. Vegetable cans.  I collect them all.

I can’t help it.  I keep telling myself enough is enough, but then I create 

a cute, craft project with them and it only solidifies my need.  ðŸ˜€

I think you may want to also start a collection when you see my…

Patriotic Tin Can Craft

Patriotic Tin Can Centerpiece | The Everyday Home

I am so happy to be joining a group of ladies for the monthly

Farmhouse Friday Blog Hop.  It’s one of my favorite days of

the month, because I adore all things Farmhouse.  So please

make sure you  follow until the end to see all these projects.

 

Know what else I adore?  All things Patriotic, so this project

was a pure pleasure to create and share.   Best of all, it’s simple

and easy.  You can make one can or make all three.  

Here’s how I did it…

tin cans

I started with three, freshly-washed, tin cans.  These held

tomatoes and I love this particular size of tin can for crafting. 

Printables | The Everyday Home

I created three coordinating, Patriotic printables.

 (I am sharing these below.)

Cut Printables

I trimmed these a bit to fit the cans.  Then, I simply 

taped them onto the cans.  I needed two printables per

can to completely cover them all the way around.  I had

to trim off the length of the second one to make it fit. 

Wrapped Cans

I used a variety of flowers and fun additives to fill them.

In each can, I also added a little chalkboard sign which

spelled out U-S-A.

Mini Chalkboard Letter

I also created two mini printables which I made into

small banners, using a red and white striped straw as the

“flag pole.”

Mini Patriotic Flags | The Everyday Home

I used white and blue hydrangeas in the red and white Stripe

can, as well as, the blue and white Star can. 

Blue Stars Patriotic Can | The Everyday Home

Finally, I added red geraniums and yellow sunflowers to the

“Pledge of Allegiance” can, with some mini flags as accents.

Once I had all three cans filled, I lined them up in the

center of my table which features a Patriotic tablescape

which I will share more of next week.

They are perfect for this Red, White and Blue themed table.

The best part about using tin cans for holding fresh flowers

is that you can fill them with water and not worry about them 

leaking onto your surface.  I will share an easy way to get the

“rusted” look on tin cans next week. 

Patriotic Flower Can | The Everyday Home Blog

This project cost me next to nothing.  I had the cans.

The printables were printed on my own copier.

I cut the flowers from my yard.  All I bought were the

chalkboard signs.   You can buy your own chalkboard

signs here…

Thank you for letting me share my Patriotic Tin Cans with 

you.   I am also sharing the printables for this craft, as well

as the plain “Pledge of Allegiance” Printable, too, which would

be really printed in a simple frame.

    I think collecting tin cans is called hoarding in some states 🙂 Very cute idea though! I love that you gave us the printables!

    Barb,
    This is such a creative, beautiful way to celebrate our freedom. I love the printouts and have copied them so I can make this project. I will even make extras to give to family on the 4th of July. What a treat! Thanks so much for sharing your talents.

    Hi,
    These are so cute and would love to try and make them. Where do you get tin cans? I also want them to be large enough for a centerpiece for a 8 person round table. Is there a tin can size you suggest? Thank you!

      Hi Molly – I saved and used large diced tomato cans. You could buy new, empty paint cans from any home store. 🙂
