Supplies needed to make your own spring floral centerpiece:

Flowers of your choice (we used artificial, but fresh would also work beautifully)
Large Keepsake Totes Storage Paint Can
Burlap Ribbon – 6 in.
Burlap Ribbon – 2.5 in.
Clear Plastic Zip Ties
Floral Shears
Scissors
Assorted Buttons
Wire

To begin, remove the sticker from your Keepsake Totes Storage Paint Can. *TIP -heating the sticker with an embossing gun or hair dryer for a few seconds will make it easier to peel the sticker off.

Next, cut your burlap strips. You will need 1.5 yards of the 2.5 inch burlap ribbon and 25 inches of the 6 inch wide burlap ribbon.

Lay your can on its side and place it on top of the 6 inch burlap strip.

Wrap one end of the burlap around the can and hold in place.

Fold the other end of the burlap a few inches in and wrap it over top of the other burlap end.

While holding this burlap wrap in place, put the 2.5 inch strip of burlap under the paint can.

Without releasing your 6 inch burlap wrap, use the 2.5 inch burlap ribbon to tie a fairly tight knot around the front burlap fold.

With one end of the top layered burlap, make a loop. Take the other end of the burlap ribbon and bring it around the back of your loop.

Stick this end through the middle of your loop and pull it through to create a secure looped knot. Tighten the knot loop. Cut any excess length off the ends of your loop.

Grab your bundle of flowers and start cutting the bottom of each stem, removing it from the bundle.

Arrange the flowers as you please. Secure the bundle together with a zip tie.

Trim the floral centerpiece stems to the proper height for your can.

Place your arrangement into the can.

Your floral centerpiece is almost done!

Now it’s time to create the button garland. Cut off 2 yards of wire from the spool.

Add a kink in your wire, about 1 inch long.

Thread the wire kink through the back of your button hole and back through the second button hole.

Once the wire has been thread through the button, grab the end of your kinked wire along with your strand of wire, and twist the two together to keep the button in place.

Repeat this process, adding a button every 3-4 inches on your wire strand. You can use the same style button for your whole strand or mix and match a variety! Here’s how your strand should start to look:

When you’re satisfied with your button wire, wrap it (twice) around the center of your bucket and twist the two ends of the wire together to secure it.
