LoCoFLo Inspired DIY Project

jenGuest Blogger Jen Bryant

I am a big fan of LoCoFlo.   I always read the blog to see recent floral creations and to get new ideas. The  “Go Green, Recycle” post showed a picture of a simple, yet beautiful arrangement in a tin can. I loved this and since my family goes through tons of tin cans per week, I thought tin cans would be perfect to use for the upcoming baby showers I was hosting.

I started saving cans of varied sizes.

I picked up fabric remnants from the design firm where I work.

I glued some.

I hole punched and tied others….

The flowers came from a friend’s garden full of the most beautiful dahlias and Locust Point Flowers at the Waverly Farmer’s Market in Baltimore.

The cans made great table decorations, favors and prizes!

What a fabulous DIY for any event! Thanks LoCoFlo for the idea!

Congratulations on finishing up a terrific wedding season in 2009!
