Yikes, I am late on this post! I'll do better tomorrow. National Craft Month or not there's still housework to be done and small children to tend to. We had beautiful weather. I opened a window, hung my diapers out to dry and caught up on mundane tasks like dishes and laundry. I also finished up two more of these puppies.
I actually need to give my husband credit for this one. My grandmother gave us three tins of popcorn for Christmas {over Thanksgiving} and when they were empty I was going to take them to the trash. *GASP* I know! What was I thinking? I was thinking I had no space to store them 'just in case'. But my dear husband found a space on the fridge and that's how our kitchen was for a few months.
Changing these into flour bins was a neglected item on my to-do list for a while now and I'm so happy I've finally tackled it. It took

ReplyDeleteThank you ladies!
ReplyDeleteIsn't spray paint the best? :) I've lost count of how many items have been "bedazzled" by spray paint in our house. ;) Did you have to do anything special to the inside to make it food safe since you spray painted?? I have two similar bins that I've been wanted to paint....
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining my Weekend Bloggy Reading party. :) Have fun finding some new reads, and I hope you'll stop by to visit Serenity Now again soon. :)
Spray paint is fabulous! I hope to get better at applying it in the future. I didn't spray the inside of the tins so no special treatment to make them food safe. I did clean the inside out because I got a few fingerprints in there.
