DIY Rustic Flower Vase

October 22, 2015 by Holly Gagnon 12 Comments

 

I love rustic Fall Decor.  Of course, I love anything rustic but the warm colors of  Fall Flowers and Pumpkins combined really do welcome in my Spirit of Fall.

DIY Rustic Flower Vase made out of a coffee can and paint!. Simple Fall DIY project that provides a great way to add color.

DIY Rustic Flower Vase

One thing I like about rustic decor is, it might be new when you bought but you want it to appear old.   Like this DIY Rustic Flower Vase I made to hold a beautiful arrangement of ProFlowers Fall Sunflowers.   It’s new but now it looks old.
Paint a can with chalky finish paint to make it look rustic

To make this DIY Rustic Flower Vase, I grabbed a  large coffee can that I had stashed away and painted a light coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish Paint around the can.

 

Create an DIY rustic look with dark creme wax.

 

When the base coat was dry, I distressed around the  can with sandpaper then applied a very thin layer of Deco Art dark  brown creme wax around the can I applied  just enough wax to make the can appear rusty and old.

The outside of the can is wrapped with raffia and scrapbooking chipboard letters to spell out Fall.

Fall Sunflower Arrangement from ProFlowers

 

This Fall Sunflower arrangement from ProFlowers is gorgeous.   To display the flowers,  I  placed 3 mason jars inside the  can and arranged the flowers inside each jar.
