DONT THROW YOUR BIG TIN CANS AWAY.....you can craft something nice with them

Hi there. nice of you to stop by! If you visit a bit here you know that I am always saying don't throw away your big tin cans , I buy them with tomato sauce or fruit in them . I was needing something for a new to us outdoor table. Its rather large so I needed something that would be useful and pretty. I went to my stash of large cans and picked 3 and got started.

I painted them red which happens to be an outdoor paint

I decided to do a white band but dry brushed it I then added some stenciled stars  .

If you like you can tape so you get good lines

 I tied some cording around the top and just knotted it.

simple , easy , free and pretty!

 Please don't laugh at my Mexican Petunias seems as though people here in Fla don't care for them they are listed as an evasive plant I don't care I love them I have them all over its the only plant that will continually give pretty purple flowers every single day . when these root I will plant them.

 This is a chalkboard one I did that holds folded cloth napkins.

This one sits on my microwave , the following links are some more can projects
