"Can" I Be Your Valentine?

Ordinary tin cans were used to create these two fanciful designs. I glued a sheet of red "foamy" material to each one (available at most craft stores). Then I took foamy hearts and attached them to the first can. They're peel and stick and soooo easy! The bunch of heathery looking flowers came from a bush in my yard. Then I added a few stems of stock and several sweet smelling carnations. I'll bet you and your kids could make these for teachers and grandmas as a very special "I love you" gift.

A larger can was used as the container for this next design. I call it "Red Vine Valentine". Notice how I inserted the red vines under the rubber band, then covered the rubber band with festive ribbon and a single foamy. You could do this with smaller cans, too. Imagine how many arrangements you can get out of one tub of red vines!

If you like these fun designs, you will LOVE my Book and Ebook! It contains almost 60 easy floral arrangements, most with step-by-step, easy to follow instructions, plus dozens of floral tips and ideas. It's so much fun!
