This tin can project is really popular so I decided to recreate my own!

First, you want to remove the paper on the can and then remove the bottom of the can. I used a regular can open to do this.

Then, I took a rubber mallet and I lightly hit one end of the tin can so that it closes up.

I added a piece of wood underneath to protect the table while using the rubber mallet.

How To Simple & Easy Soup Can DIY Floral Hanging Project

As you can see below, one side is closed up perfectly.

Next, I used a cordless drill to drill a small hole in each side of the can so that I can hang it up.

Also, make sure you have a piece of wood underneath your can so you don’t drill into your work surface.

Next, I knew I wanted to add drop cloth fabric to my project.

I started with spray adhesive so that some of the ridges on the can would still show through the drop cloth.

Next, I wrapped drop cloth material around the can and hot glued the pieces together in the back.

Then, I used scissors to cut the excess drop cloth fabric off of the can.

After cutting the fabric I went back in and glued down the fabric pieces that weren’t fully glued down.

Then, I added glue on the inside and pressed the drop cloth into the inside of the can.

And then I cut off the excess fabric on the bottom of my can.

Once again, I used my hot glue gun to glue the drop cloth fabric together on the bottom of my can so that the fabric stays.

I used my scissors to cut a hole in the drop cloth where the holes are on the can.

While I was doing this I realized that I didn’t have to drill the holes in either side. You could easily just hot glue your hook to the backside of this project and hang it up that way.

I always save the hemmed edges of drop cloth in case I want to add it to future projects.

I decided to add a little extra detail by adding those pieces to the top and bottom of my can.

This gave the project a clean finished look.

Once I knew where I wanted to attach the hemmed edges, I used my hot glue gun to glue the material down all the way around the can.

For the last part, I decided to use a beaded hanger because it looks so good with the drop cloth.

How cute is that?

This project turned out so good!

I decided to take it one step further and add an IOD Transfer to my project.

First, I cut out a beautiful butterfly IOD transfer that I wanted to use. I used the IOD Brocante Transfer book.

I removed the white backing sheet and laid the butterfly down onto the center of my project.

Then, I used my transfer tool to press the butterfly into the drop cloth.

Next, I peeled the transfer tape up making sure the butterfly does not lift.

IOD transfers peel off so easily on this drop cloth – even the tiny little antenas transfer perfectly!

What do you think? Are you ready to recreate this look? I know you have a can at your house and you can grab an IOD transfer from my website!
