Recently I showed you how to repurpose old tins into fun storage containers. I love bright colors and patterns, so I decided to take my upcycled tins one step further. This is how I did it.
(This post first appeared at Dollar Store Crafts, where you can find my new tutorial every Tuesday!)
Supplies
- Tins
- Knobs
- Spray Paint
- Fabric Scraps
- Ric rac or trim (optional)
- Mod Podge
Step one: Upcycle your tin following the instructions in this post: https://www.morenascorner.com/2014/02/make-decorative-storage-containers-from-recycled-tins.html
Step two: Cut a piece of fabric to fit the tin.
Step three: Apply Mod Podge to the back of the fabric.
Step four: Place the fabric onto the tin. Fold the edge over to make it look more polished.
Step five: (optional) Glue ric rac around the edges of the fabric.
Now my tins look the way I want them to: bright, bold, and colorful! They make for a fun storage option in my craft room. I’ve placed my paint brushes and spouncers in them.
Which do you prefer, solid colored or patterned? Have fun creating!
