I’ve always want to learn how to alter paint cans. Not that I’ve got time but it’s good to keep this in mind when time finally becomes available!

Before you start, it might pay to visit this website that have got heaps of cans available: http://www.cansareus.com

Altered cans can be used for wedding gifts or they’re a great way to hold cards at the reception. Baby gifts look adorable tucked in a blue or pink gift can and Halloween treats never tasted as sweet as when they are handed out in a one of a kind pail. Other possible uses:
1. Spa Buckets: Bath salts, shower gel, manicure set.
2. Writing Pail: Stationery, notepads, and pens.
3. Birthday in a Can: Complete with candles, balloons, card, gift, and party hat!
4. Movie Bucket: Video or video gift card, microwave popcorn, drink mix.
5. Over the Hill Bucket: Assorted over the hill products.

The supply list is simple and the things you need may already be in your craft closet. You will need a new paint can, paper (preferably two patterns and/or colors), glue dots, ribbon, and beads. You can use flowers, tags, and other embellishments depending on your taste.
