Tin Can Upcycle for Mother’s Day

Welcome to the May Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop {and y’all too} to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month’s challenge is about Father’s Day, which is coming up next month. I chose something simple again – simple but delicious! This candied bacon is a favorite for pretty much anyone that eats it. : )

Like I said, this month I wanted to keep it really simple. Plus, I didn’t want to spoil any gift I make for my mom, as she does read my posts! Since I already had a few empty tin cans hanging around, this pin from House by Hoff was the perfect choice. I even had a paint color very similar to the one used in the original post. Of course, I had to do some things a little different!

Tin Can Upcycle

Lucky for me I like to keep larger cans after I use the contents. This trio was in my stash & ready for painting…

I used DecoArt’s American Decor Chalky Finish paint in Vintage on the exterior.

In the inspiration post, washi tape & paper was used to add some flair to the painted tin cans. I decided to use some crocheted doilies, twine, & leftover yarn for my flair.

I picked up the doilies at a crafter’s estate sale a while back. The yarn is silk & bamboo which is a perfect bit of fancy to my rustic cans! I used a glue gun to hold the twine & yarn in place.

Then I used the grooves as a guide to wrap it all around the can.

A couple dots of glue holds the doily in the center & covers the overlapping yarn and twine.

After I wrapped all three cans, I decided they needed a bit more bling. I raided my jar of vintage buttons & found the perfect ones…

I think some close ups are in order…

I just love how these turned out! There were some roses ready for cutting on my rose bush, so I went out and snipped a few.

These came off my rose bush named Betsy. She usually makes some of the biggest, fluffiest pink roses! These are a little smaller, but I really need to give her a good trim.

These cans are the perfect gift to myself {I am a mom!} & will be great for displaying flowers during the spring. I hope ya’ll enjoyed my simple project this month. Sometimes simple can be fabulous!
