As I've said before, I love for things to get a second chance with a new life as something else. Enter the soup cans.
A little hot glue and some scissors to cut off the feathery end of the grasses.
And hot glued them all around.
Since there were a lot of them, I decided to make two, but try out a different method. I tried it with mod podge and some spray adhesive.
It didn't hold on quite so well. So I decided to cover the rest with fabric and secure it with rubber bands while it dried.
Then I finished it off with some cute tied raffia.
As for the first one I did, I felt that there was a bit too much hot glue showing to be pretty. So I decided to cover it with the same raffia and some hot glue.
Trimmed the ends, add some pens, and we're done! All for the price of free- I had all the items on hand already and got to repurpose the cans and grasses. The only downside- I forgot how pleasant hot glue burns can be. Lovely lol :)

omg-- LOVE THIS! I am doing cake pops for my friends shower and wanted them to look like they were in grass. I bet if you put some styrofoam in the can and poked the cake pops in they would look awesome! Cute Idea!
