Primp Your Cans

My blogging friends, you really don't want to miss the posts this week. I'm going to definitely show the Pink, White and Roses Christmas Tree. Squeeeeeeal. I promise you glitz, bling, pizzazz and all that stuff. You know what I mean. It really did turn out darling.

Have I got your attention yet? I don't mean to sound crude, but I do mean primp your cans. I had this one left over after we finished the cocoa mix inside, so I couldn't throw away a perfectly good tin can, could I? Nuuuuuu, so after spray painting it white, I primped it up with some decals, rick rack, ribbon roses and ribbon. You can do this also. I've just described the drill to you so go get busy and then put your kitchen utensils in it as I'm going to do with this one. Or your brushes. ;-)

  1. Connie, primping cans used to be my favorite thing. When I was into watermelons, I painted cans for my paint brushes, pens and other items I used for crafting. I am working on some little vienna sausage cans right now and hope to show it soon. Hoorah for another recycler. I love your pink can. Can't wait to see your tree. Love and Hugs, Pat

  11. Hi Connie,
    Oh this is too cute. Love the decal. Had to take a second look at the title. LOL!! I have always saved cans and painted. Everything is a surface. Can't wait to see your pretty tree. I got a little pink one this year for the shabby rose room and it is on my current post.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie
