Get ready to have some fun with flowers as I show you exactly how to turn a storage container into a simple tin floral arrangement.
DIY Buffalo Check Tin Floral Arrangement
In this tin floral arrangement with buffalo check centerpiece tutorial, I will show you just how you can turn a simple container into a beautiful centerpiece. You can use any shape or size container you have around your home. The best part is inside the container you can hide some delicious treats and no one will even know they are there! Follow along as I show you how to make a simple bow and add a floral design to go on top!
The one thing I would like for you to learn from this tutorial is the importance of covering up your mechanics in your floral arrangements. When you use foam blocks, cable ties, or any other attachment pieces in your designs you want to make sure you are hiding the mechanics or your floral arrangement. This is something I teach more about in my design school. Join the waitlist to know when it opens up again and you can learn more techniques when it comes to making your own floral designs.
This is a simple project and you can have a super cute centerpiece in little to no time. Be sure to grab your supplies and follow along with me in the tutorial video! Just remember to have fun with flowers and check back soon for new videos and instructions.

Ingredients
1.5″ Black White Woven Check Ribbon on 50 Yard Roll
Cream Flower and Berry Stem
floral foam block
Directions
- Using a floral foam piece cut it small enough to fit on top of your container. Depending on your container will be the shape you cut. Dip your foam block into your hot glue pan and hold it to the top of your container lid. Add some Spanish moss around your foam block.
- Using an EZ Bow maker make your tail at 8 inches and make your loops at 5 inches, doing two loops on each side. Bring down your tail and trim and dovetail the ends. Make your next tails a little shorter at 6 inches and make your loops at 4 inches using the same ribbon.
- Secure your bow with a cable tie and hold it between your fingers and add a floral pin in the back. Then secure your cable tie nice and tight.
- Add a little piece of ribbon and cut about 12 inches long and fold it along itself to get it nice and skinny and then run it right down the center to hide your cable tie and gives it a better finishing look.
- Attach your bow right to the middle of your foam block using that floral pin. Add glue to the pin before pushing it into your block. Then curl the ends of your bow tails up and fluff your loops. Putting some tails up and some down.
- Next work in your florals all-around your bow. Start by adding your greenery first. Next, add your pops of red using your Red Geranium Bush. Now cut one stem of your wildflowers and break it down into smaller pieces. Add these pieces towards the top of your bow sticking upward.
- Now for the fun pieces. Add in your red and white ball picks. I added 3 to this design. Placing them in a triangle pattern. Then I am back and added two more to the bottom of my floral foam block on the sides. Working your way around and covering the foam.
- Take a final look at your floral arrangement and add any pieces you think you need to hide any gaps and empty places you find. Make sure your bow is coming out the middle and you are done!
