A friend gave me this empty can !
It's actually an empty paint can !
It had barbecue spices in it .... she decided to sell each spice individually so she gave me the can! Yeah!
You can buy empty cans on Amazon here's a link for them !

Because the label was on really well and I knew I was going to paint it and cover it .... I left it on ....
I then went ahead and crushed the bottom !
I have a Vice so I used that but you can also use a hammer ....

I love this Vice .. it's convenient to have and it's not huge so it doesn't take up a lot of room!
Here's one similar

You want the bottom closed tightly!

I then painted it with homemade white chalk paint .. you can use what ever paint you like .

I then picked my napkin I was using and printed my wording on it !
I got the digital download from
Our recycled Life from her Etsy shop !

I then tore the edges of the napkin and then decoupaged it on using my Mod Podge!
