I dug into the craft stash and found a tin can that I painted with brown textured paint, some scraps of burlap and homespun fabric and a rusty safety pin and bell. After decorating the can a bit I added the sunflowers, cat tails and a bit of excelsior to finish it off.
Crafting certainly doesn't have to be expensive and this project proves it

It is BEAUTIFUL!!! No, you don't have to have much money, but you do have to have just a bit of vision and artistic insight, and I have neither. This is prettier than the fall arrangements at Michaels.
It's beautiful, Ann. What vision you have. xx
That looks so cute! I love the burlap and gingham fabrics!
Very pretty!!! If you love sunflowers so much, I think you should change your daisy at the top of your blog to a sunflower. Would make it look great for fall!!
Christmas in the Woods is Oct 12-13 and Oct 19-20th. What do you think?
WOW the whole effect is so beautiful Ann..love the fabric on the tin and the smashing sunflowers
Good for you as it looks great!
perfect for fall..me to on love of sunflowers... i have not been in a craft store in years, did not even know they have fake sunflowers. i do need to get out more. maybe i could stand them in my back yard to see out the kichen door. my mother used to do that, not with sunflowers but with anything pink
I bet your home is truly a 'comfort zone'!! I love this Ann.
Love the dollar stores!!! I think I shall go to ours today and see what goodies I can find.
Pretty flowers!

One must really want to quit crafting before treatment can be effective.
You could give me all these pieces and it sure wouldn't look like this when I was done. You did this wonderfully.
Have a fantastic day. My best to Duke. ☺
It's like a can of sunshiny happiness!
I just put my sunflowers and cattails out in the arrangement at the the front door!!!! I did something right!...:)JP
You make ALL your projects look easy!
Pretty!!

Very nice Ann
Ann you can make anything out of anything - that is beautiful!
Beautiful arrangement... You are right... These kinds of projects don't have to be expensive. However, one has to have YOUR talent to make them... ha ha
Hugs,

Those are fake? They look quite lovely...and it's nice to see some bright color -
Sunflowers are the greatest. I love the way they lean towards the sun. That is such a nice sunflower craft. Take care.
What a great gift this would make...the can is adorable.
No, it doesn't have to be expensive...but you certainly have the eye to put simple things together nicely!
You are awesome Ann!! Look at how creative you are!! Love it!
Very cute. But when I do stuff like that it just looks like a bunch of junk.
Love this Ann. So much so...that I'll be washing my can from lunch, and stopping at the $ store after work!
Thanks for the inspiration!!
