This spring creation works beautifully as a centerpiece on a dining table or as a focal point on a mantel.

1 Dollar Tree wire mesh trash can

Begin by using the tin snips to carefully cut the wire mesh trash can into halves or sections, depending on your design preference. Ensure the edges are smooth to avoid injury.

Spray paint the cut sections in your chosen pastel colors. Allow the paint to dry completely, ideally in a well-ventilated area.

Once dry, arrange the sections in a pleasing configuration to form the base of your centerpiece. Secure them together using a hot glue gun.

Trim and arrange artificial flowers or foliage to fit within and around the wire mesh structure. Use the hot glue gun to attach them securely, ensuring even distribution and a balanced look.

Cut a length of decorative ribbon to wrap around the base or edges of the mesh structure. Tie it in a bow or knot for added flair.

Place the finished piece on your chosen surface, adjusting any flowers or ribbons as needed to perfect the look.

For a natural look, consider using real flowers and moss. However, ensure to regularly change them out to maintain freshness. Alternatively, you could use fairy lights intertwined within the mesh for a whimsical evening look. Experiment with different color schemes to match your existing decor, such as using gold spray paint for a more luxurious feel or vibrant neon colors for a modern twist.
