Patriotic Tin Cans

Patriotic Tin Cans are an easy and frugal decoration for July 4th!  The imagination is endless in terms of uses!  They could be used as a vase with some flowers inside or filled with plastic wear or even left empty!

You could even poke holes through them with a nail or drill and add a tea light candle and turn them into luminaries.

Regardless they will make a cute table decoration for your patriotic event that won’t cost you much!  You could use glass jars as well but with kids around I thought tin cans might be a better option.

Patriotic Tin Cans:

• Tempera Paint

To Make:
