# Trash Object Bouquets The Discarded Spray Can Flower Bouquets are a Girl's Best Friend By Cody Turner | Published 2012-08-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discarded-spray-can-flower-bouquets References: [boredpanda](http://www.boredpanda.com/recycled-spray-cans-flower-bouquet-hillary-coe/) & [hillarycoe](http://www.hillarycoe.com/Can-Love-1) Hillary Coe's Discarded Spray Can Flower Bouquets take the graffiti art form to a whole new level. Coe is part of an organization called Can Love that uses [abandoned spray paint containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames) and uses them to create a variety of new pieces of art. She claims on her site that "each step of the process, from extracting paint to opening and disassembling the can, lends itself to a new form of art." Her [flower bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouqs-spooky-collection) utilize the tops and bottoms of the spray cans, which are then assembled into [large vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-vase) reminiscent of real flower arrangements. The paint from the cans is then used to color each bouquet and finally the sides of the cans are added to a piece of over 200 cans. These Discarded Spray Can Flower Bouquets use the entire can to create something stunning. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Art:** Opportunity to create innovative art using discarded materials, promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness. - **Upcycling:** Transforming waste materials into new, valuable products or artworks, offering unique and eco-friendly creations. - **Graffiti Revival:** Exploring new ways to incorporate graffiti art into different forms of creative expression, opening doors for unconventional art collaborations. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Utilizing discarded materials to create unique art pieces, attracting environmentally-conscious consumers. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Incorporating upcycled materials into fashion design to create eco-friendly and trendy clothing and accessories. - **Street Art Tourism:** Developing interactive street art installations to attract tourists and engage with urban culture in a sustainable way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Compact Canned Houseplants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-mini-can-foliage.md) - [Spray Can Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/step-aboard.md) - [Flower-Inspired Bong Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-vase-bong.md) - [Repurposed Studio Scrap Pottery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery.md) - [Smokable Art Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-by-edie-parker-1.md) - [Halloween-Themed Flower Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouqs-spooky-collection.md) - [Runway-Inspired Bouquets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmgirl-flowers.md)
