Christmas Tin Makeover


I HATE Christmas tins with a passion! They are usually so ugly and pointless. I never want to throw them away because I know they could be useful, but usually end up pitching them at some point. I thought it would be fun to do a little Christmas Tin Makeover, so they could be used for other occasions! 

Christmas Tin Makeover
Step 1: Get an ugly Christmas Tin.

Step 2: Spray with primer.

Step 3: Add color (or if you're lazy like me, leave as is)!

Step 4: Add decoration of your choice. I had some flower silhouette decals.

Step 5: Spray on a coat of clear gloss finish. 

There you have it! Now you are rid of an ugly Christmas tin, and have something you might actually use.
I plan on using mine as a gift box instead of wrapping paper!
