Hi friends!
Oh tin containers! How much do I love thee?
Let me count the ways:
I turned an empty lip balm tin into a cute holder for pins or paper clips...TADA!
I transformed an empty cookie tin to hold sewing supplies...TADA!

I gave an empty popcorn tin new life as a recycling bin...TADA!
And here I am again, with a new tin to work on:
This was once home to Colombian coffee.
I painted it in a deep black and let it dry for a few hours.
With a white pencil, I sketched some poppies and cosmos flowers.
Then I painted the flowers, allowing the paint to dry before adding another layer.
I now present, my floral tin container:
I'll use it to wrap a present. That way, the recipient can reuse the can when it's her turn to give a gift.
These are just some of the fun ways to turn empty tin containers from "blah to TADA!"

I love the new tin! The bright flowers pop against the black background.:-)
