Fun, fresh Decorating ideas for Spring

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Feb 20, 2013 · Modified: Jan 11, 2014

Fun, fresh, decorating ideas for Spring.

I don’t know about you, but I never look at a can the same way any more.

You know, like open can, empty, recycle.

I think to myself, OH boy, what can I do with this can?

recycled cans

As I mentioned the other day.

Browsing on pinterest can be time consuming, but oh so rewarding as well.

{all you}

I saw the cutest can, I just had to pin it.

You see I have upcycled and created some cute cans myself,

but never with buttons.

This is my Spring can btw.

I think it will look cute with some flowers on a table scape

with my new burlap place settings

I guess that is the simple story of  a simple Spring can.

If you like my cans…

you may want to see some more ways to upcycle and make them purty!

Upcycled can ideas

 

I used

Dollar tree Spring napkins

 mod podge, and trim,

 cute embellishments I also found at the Dollar tree.  I also had the buttons and hot clued them as well.

Est. time: 30 minutes.

    I think its the Girl Scout in me but I do the same thing every time I open a can, especially a can of tuna. We used those far a little burner! Thanks for the inspiration..this would be a fun project to do with my 4yr old granddaughter when she comes to visit.

    Well I have to admit, this tin can is speaking to me! The last time I made a tin can I was on second grade and was a gift to my dad’s for father’s day! I guess back then regular Elmer’s glue was the Mod Podge in fashion and we used magazine cut outs, he still has that can on his desk till today! Some cans are meant to be memorable I guess. Thanks for posting Debbie..this one is a keeper for sure!

    30 minutes of Dollar Tree and Mod Podge therapy is EXACTLY what I need right now. I am just dying to do a fun little craft that makes me smile. Yours would fit the bill. I think it’s as cute as a button.

    Sorry. Had to say it.

    I. LOVE. BUTTONS. You have inspired me to make something with my buttons, instead of just filling up a jar with them. Lovely project.
