I bought a bunch of tins at our local dump shop for $.50 each as well as collecting a few from my parents and friends. After Christmas is a great time to look for these hiding in peoples cupboards.
Step One: Give them all a good clean – who knows where some of those dump shop tins have been!
Step two: Give them all a light sand. This helps the paint adhere.
Step three: With the tin lids on (so they don’t get too tight and won’t fit on anymore) LIGHTLY coat them with a top quality spray paint
.
Step four: Leave to dry and then re-coat as per the can’s instructions. I used 3 very fine coats.
Step five: Write the names of the contents on the tins with paint pens.
Fill your pretty tins with all your delicious things.
