Painting cans and how to decorate with them

By 21 Comments

Hey there! How are you all doing today? My boys are now officially out of school and we can let the summer time fun begin.

It’s been off to a great start so far. Today I am sharing how to paint a can and decorate your table tops with them.

I have done and shared so many upcycled can ideas in the past.

Here, I will share just a few…

These cans were spray painted with various summer colors and made for a cute outdoor table setting.

I then took the same cans

and simply put some patriotic ribbon around the spray painted cans  to create a pretty Labor day table setting

One thing I have never done is actually just PAINT one.

with Paint from a can.

I had red paint left from painting our pantry door red.

I thought what else can I do with it?

I saw this cutest can caddy and pinned it, and thought

I am making one of those myself.

I will be sharing more on these cute little butterfly embellishments that I made using mod podge melts.

I made a cute little gingham flower too.  That was easy, I simply cut a few strips of fabric

and folded it together like an accordion and hot glued it on.

I have to say this was a fun little FREE project and it looks cute on the kitchen table too.
