Mini Picket Fence Decor

Ingredients

  • 1 candle jar
  • 22 clothespins
  • 1 paint stick
  • Spray paint (optional)
  • 2 empty tuna cans
  • 1 empty 4 oz. can (like a chili can)
  • 1 votive candle
  • Hot glue
  • Decorative tags
  • Small flower plant

Directions

  1. Open two tuna cans and one 4 oz. can, remove contents, and wash thoroughly. Dry the cans completely.
  2. Place the votive in the center of one tuna can and the 4 oz. can in the center of the other. Plant a small flower in the 4 oz. can.
  3. If you want to color your clothespins, spray one side of them with paint, let dry, then turn over and spray the other side. Let them dry completely.
  4. Using hot glue, attach approximately 22 clothespins along the circumference of the tuna cans to create the picket fence effect. You can alternate between painted and natural clothespins for an interesting look.
  5. Attach decorative tags to the front and rear of the can for a charming touch

Fun Tip

Choose either spray paint or acrylic paint to color your 'picket fence.' Opt for classic white for a traditional look, or experiment with your own color choices to make the craft truly unique.
