Recycle those vegetable cans


After washing and drying these cans I took an old newspaper distressed it by spraying with color, wadding to make it look aged then sealed with several coats or decoupage.  I let it dry overnight.  Decorated with buttons, flowers and ribbon.  I added wire for a handle by punching holes with a nail and hammer.

Most all of us know someone that uses smokeless tobacco?  If so, check out how you can recycle the cans it comes in.





I recycle these by storing paper clips, safety pins, thumb tacks, etc... They also look attractive as an accent on decorative shelves.

Note:  Make sure you wash them thoroughly I suggest you use bleach to try and get the smell out.  I personally don't mind the smell.

Purse Mini Albums

I made these purse mini albums for my nieces.  I had so much fun making these.
