Crafts/DIY: Upcycling Tin Cans

We are obsessed with these Royal Dansk snacks.

Now we are overstocked with empty cans. I didn't want to throw them away because I saw the potential of having cute containers that are easy to DIY.

Last weekend, I found time to do them. They're super easy to make. I think I finished in 10 minutes tops.

You will need:

• Empty tin cans
• Sandpaper
• Spray paint

Here is one empty can, all shiny and smooth

Slightly sand the surface, just so the paint will stick to it. Spray paint it, one coat at a time until covered.

Tada! Spray painted tin cans
