Decorated tin can

Here is another decorated tin can. On this I have glued on strips of different scrapping paper with pale blue swirls on top. Inside I painted it pale blue and glued a white lace around the top.

This can is a little bigger than the earlier ones, so its most likely to be used for storing scissors an paint brushes.

Decorated tin cans

After my first tin I got hooked and just had to make some more. Like the first one this one is also decorated with clippings from magazines and covered with 3 coats of glossy varnish. My personal favorite is the first one.

Pencil holder

Last weekend it was time to celebrate that my daughter got 1 year older. That meant that all of my sewing gear had to leave the living room (oh, so that’s what my dining table looks like…) But sitting around doing nothing isn’t really my thing, so it was time to bring out paper and scissors again.

I used gel medium to glue paper clippings from old magazines on to a small tin can. Inside I painted it magenta before I but on 5 layers of shiny varnish to get a wet look. The result was this pencil holder.
