I love creating unique things !
So I decided to recycle this can and turn it into an adorable faux watering can !
Supplies you will need
• A can any size you choose
• A fun handle
• decorative napkin ,tissue paper or even pages from a book will work to for decoupaging
• E -6000 glue
• Hot Glue
• Mod Podge or Elmers glue
I took the label off my can .
I bent it some what to resemble a watering can with a spout.
I then drilled two hole where the handle would go .
I decoupaged my tissue paper .
I used Mod Podge on this project.
Once I was done I sanded off any excess tissue paper from the edges .
I had this handle for serval years ! I finally found the perfect project for it !
I used E -6000 and hot glue to secure it on .
The holes I had drilled helped hold it in place . Because this particular handle had two notches on it that screws had gone into it before.
I then took my ink and distressed the whole can it gave it a nice grunge look.
You don't have to do this if you don't want to !
This color was Basil Leaf .
I just love that look! 😀❤️
It really looks rusty ! Love it!
I add some embellishments like a rusty paper dollie peeking from the top along with an adorable little hang tag and these beautiful artificial flowers !
That's it look how adorable and inexpensive this project is !
I hope you look at empty cans differently and recycle them in a fun creative way !
