The decoration consists of a holiday tin can filled with artificial foliage and berries.

This craft made out of tin cans is an ideal decoration during the holiday season. By painting the cans with your own designs and adding foliage, you can display them on a mantel or wooden riser. The best part is that we are not throwing any cans away, and creating this craft is simple.
