Show off your prettiest backyard blooms in colorful cans you already have in the cupboard!
GRAB SOME OLD CANS out of the recycling bin and glue fabric or put a pretty design around the can. Or scour your kitchen for pretty cans with bold colors and graphic images of fruits and vegetables, olives or fish in a variety of shapes and sizes. Clean the cans and cut flowers from your yard with a pair of garden shears. We like ranunculus, dahlias and hydrangeas, but nearly anything—even overflowing honeysuckle vines—will be beautiful. For a manageable (yet divinely free-form) shape, tie the stems together with ribbon or twine so that the buds form a slight mound. This will keep the bouquet in a bundle and prevent it from looking unruly (fresh-cut flowers tend to have minds of their own!). To draw attention to a graphic design that you particularly love, use just one type of flower per can.
