Crafts Using Unmarked Paint Cans

RE: Crafts Using Unmarked Paint Cans By Joan (Guest Post) I made a snowman kit in one. Painted blue and spong paint a snowman on front. Add a scarf, pair of gloves. wood carrot for nose, small rocks spray painted black for eyes and mouth, and a pipe, I made a corn cob pipe, and a hat of some sort. They are really cute to just sit around as decoration, or can actually be used for a snowman.

I have a couple of birthday gifts to give in the next week or so and that is what I will use. http://www.mardar.us/paintcovers.htm has some beautiful paint can labels and lids to print. That site also has lots of other printables. Just go to their home page and then go from there. Primdoodles.com/Tutorials4.asp is a paint can tutorial. It shows you how to make your own using a blank template. www.jersgirl.com has A LOT of blank templates for things other than just paint cans. Also, if you google "free printables" you will get lots of info. Just "play" with all the different sites and have fun. Who knows, you may find a new hobby...one where you can even make a few extra bucks. Have fun and good luck!!

What about stilts? a Pair of cans and some twine or clothesline rope, a good nail, and take off the handles and tip the cans bottom up. Punch holes opposite each other in sides of the cans near the bottom which is now the top. Knot the twine and thread through the hole from the inside, so that the knot keeps it from coming free. You loop this over, thread through the other hold and knot inside. Stilts... my Mom used to make these for us kids a LOT. What about letting the kids decorate them and use them for the easter baskets? Storage is also an idea for nails, makeup. Overnight case? A gallon can would hole a set of "jammies" and whatever.

Like the others have suggested, you can decorate the outside and fill the inside with gifts. In the 1980s, it was popular to decorate canisters with paint pens. I still have mine which I used to store all of my hair ribbons and accessories. If you want to make some personalized gifts, you could use some sticker paper and make a "label" for the can.

You can fill them with bath goodies or nail polish goodies to give as a gift, and decorate the outside of the can with scrapbook papers, there are zillions of beautiful papers out there. Tie a fabulous bow on the handle, and gift you can be proud of! You could even fill the bucket with cookie or fudge ingredients; the possibilities are endless! Have fun!

I also decorated some and filled them with candy and treats for a buffet table at a party. I think they could easily be decorated and used for Easter Baskets too.
