    Bring a little of the great outdoors to your home decor -- with this creative use of a plastic bucket, moss and flowers!

    Figure A

    Recycle an old -- or new -- paint bucket or plastic container into a decorative floral container.

    Materials: Paint bucket
    Decorative moss
    Spray bottle
    Glue gun
    Wire branches (for handle)
    Fresh flowers
    Black paint
    Floral foam

    1. Paint a black stripe around the top rim of bucket (inside and out). This will hide any spots missed by the moss.

      Spritz a piece of moss with water until it becomes pliable. Apply hot glue to bucket's surface and adhere moss. Repeat until entire bucket is covered with the moss.

    2. Cut floral foam to fit inside bucket. Place inside bucket and soak with water.
