Upcyceld Tin Cans - Art inspired


We all use some canned foods from time to time.  And we all probably use empty cans for one purpose or another.  This inscrutable shows how to decorate cans to be used as organizers for pencils, pens, paint brushes, etc.  It's a simple thing to do, and children would especially have fun making their creations.

Can Art: A Way To Recycle Some Tin Cans


1.      Prime the cans so the glue sticks
2.   Make the tiles. I painted Styrofoam and cut it into tile shapes. (Use whatever you have at hand.)
3.      Glue tiles to primed can
4.      Grout spaces between tiles and wipe off excess.

I thrifted these shoes and gave them new life. They are now "vanilla bean" white (they have tiny specks of black glitter) with three hearts on the outer side of each shoe. The shoes bear the words Lady (left) and Love (right) in a pretty script. I've also added a fray-proof crimson-red bow. The shoes are sealed in a waterproof sealer to ensure that the paint does not wear off. (I would not suggest running a marathon through the plains of africa in them, however.. but if you're doing that in high-heels anyways then you've got bigger problems)

The shoes are a US size 6 M with a 3 inch heel.


If you're simply *in love* with these, I can make you a similar pair with the trim and bows.. just convo me!
