How to Make a DIY 4th of July Vase

1. Peel off the label from an empty coffee can and wash the can thoroughly.

2. Using a paint brush and acrylic paint, draw red, white and blue stripes all around the empty coffee can. If you’re feeling creative, draw any patriotic pattern that sparks your interest!

3. With a drill, very carefully pierce holes into the coffee can and create the shape of a star, an exploding firecracker, an American flag, or any other 4^th of July shape. If you’re not handy with a drill, use a nail and hammer instead.

4. Put your beautiful 4^th of July flowers in a small glass vase, and then place the vase inside the coffee can.

5. Turn on two or three LED tealight candles, drop them into the coffee can and watch your arrangement light up just like the fireworks in the sky!
