DIY: Soup Can to Flower Vase

A simple soup can could be reused in so many ways.... this week, I transformed my soup can into a flower vase.


The process was quick and easy.  I removed the label from the soup can (if the label leaves behind stickiness, a little Goo Gone always helps).  I opened the soup can with a can opener that doesn't produce sharp edges (the Kuhn Rikon is my favorite), then saved the soup in a separate bowl and washed the inside of the can, let it dry and painted it.

I spray painted the soup cans with Krylon's Brushed Metallic in champagne.... a few light coats covered the cans.

Once the paint was dry, I clipped a variety of blooming pinkish colored flowers from my yard, filled the can with water and added the flowers to my new metallic vase.

A few vases are now spread out around my house in preparation for this weekend.  Some friends and I are getting ready to host an exciting celebration on Saturday!  Here's a glimpse....

  6. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

    Probability is the likelihood of a specific outcome or event taking place.

    To work this out, you divide the number of specific outcomes with the number of possible outcomes.

    For example, if you were rolling a dice and wanted the number three to come up, there is only one specific outcome; at the same time, there are six possible outcomes because the dice could land on one, two, three, four, five or six. So the probability of you rolling a three is 1 in 6.

    In gambling, the "odds" are the chances a person has of winning a bet, but these always work against that person.

    The "house" refers to the people who offer the bet (the casino, bookmaker, slot machine owner, etc.) and they always have the "edge".

    This means that the designers of the machine or game make sure that it works in their favour and they will always make money overall.

    In every betting game, the odds are against the player. Every person who hits the jackpot on a slot machine is actually winning money that previous players lost.

    Sadly, the longer you gamble, the more likely it is that you will lose money, because the odds are against you.

    Many problem gamblers have the false belief that they will be able to "beat the system" but over time they'll lose money, probably an awful lot of it.

  11. It applies to whether the same number will come up in the National Lottery if it came up for the past 3 weeks in a row - it is just as likely to appear as it is not.
