You have arrived at one of the stops on the Buttons Galore & More Blog Hop! 
Soup cans are so useful- and they can be dressed up quickly and inexpensively with a little imagination. I cleaned the can well and started wrapping yellow twine around the can. I used Zip-Dry Paper Glue here and there to make sure the twine stayed in place. 
A piece of lace was wrapped around the top of the can and buttons were glued on top. 
I added a 3D flower made from my Sizzix Flower, Layers #9 die. The flower was die-cut from coffee filters and colored with watered down paint just along the edges. I added Leaves die-cut from felt and a utility fabric.
