DIY | Old Tins Makeover

We're loving all these old tin makeovers we found in the March issue of IDEAS magazine from South Africa. Make calendar lids made from the lid of a paint can painted with chalkboard paint and hung using a chain.  Decoupage fine art prints onto pop cans or source out old fashioned labels off the internet and apply to small paint cans.

Upcycle a five-litre paint tin into an ice bucket using gold metal spray paint, and light blue paint to the final coat leaving some of the gold visible on the outside of the tin.
