This casual idea transforms any store-bought bouquet into a pretty, rustic display just by using items you might already have.

You'll need the following supplies:

  • Table runner or cut a piece of fabric long enough to fit down the center of your table.
  • Assorted tin cans in various sizes (bulk coffee cans, tomato cans, soup cans, etc.)
  • Burlap (look for colored burlap in orange, yellow or green for added pop)
  • Twine
  • Scissors
  • Colored Raffia or decorative fall ribbon
  • Fall floral bouquet
  • Steps
    • Place a can on top of the burlap.

    • Measure and cut a square of the burlap large enough so when gathered up, it will cover the can.

    • Place the can back on the burlap square and gather it up and cinch at the neck. Tie it off with a piece of twine.

    • Cover the twine with raffia or decorative fall ribbon tied into a bow.

    • Fill the can with water and insert fall flower bouquet.

    • For a dynamic presentation, make several of these in varying heights and group in threes down your table runner.
