DIY ~ Painted Can

I love making things since i still in high school, at the time I make greeting cards, recycled paper, and photo frame. There are many things that I DIY (Do It Yourself), I could'nt photograph all the DIY steps i made, let's start with DIY painted can.

Food cans often wasted and rusty without any function, it is very wasted and unfortunate, so I decided to decorate the tin cans of sardines that I have at home.

Materials required: paint, brushes, clean can, thinner to clean brushes. And unused paper tp cover the floor (please ignore the crappy background paper)

I want a soft pink colorpaint but the store didnt have it, so I mix red paint and white paint

The beautifull soft pink color i made ^^

This is sardines can after painted, let it dry all day.

Once dried, let's decorative the cans. The first can I decorate with red polka-dot pattern, by using a doting tool.

Its very easy, just dip and dot ^^

The second cans also polkadot pattern, but the color is white

The third cans decorated with light blue lace

I give the four cans the black ribbon

The fifth cans I painted with black oil paint, is quite difficult and messy, because oil paint takes longer to dried. Before it dried, I repeatedly nudge the cans and damaging the patterns

Take a few days before the oil paint dry completely.

After all the paint and glue dried, this painted cans can be used for storing various items. For example, a flower vase..

The place for brushes or makeups

Placing a coins in this cans also nice idea ^^

Or it could be a place for storing candy, flower pots, stationery, etc

Come on girls, take advantage of useless stuff around you, it saves money ^ ^
