Wall Pocket Decorations

RE: Wall Pocket Decorations By monica (Guest Post) How cute! Posted on 11/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wall Pocket Decorations By CraftingMomma (5) Contact These are very nice. I hadn't thought of decoupaging them. I'll have to give it a try. In the past I've either left them the way they are (too pretty to cover) or I have hand painted them, as well as adding beads and baubles off the bottom. The large popcorn tins with Christmas/Winter designs I have put silk flower arrangements in them and given them as gifts. They were very well received. The ones I have planted in, I have used a small disposable diaper (unused ... yes people have actually asked that question LOL) in the bottom to help hold the soil and moisture in. Otherwise they dry out really quickly. Nice to see others using recyclables in there crafting projects!

The supermarket on my street throws them out regularly so perhaps I will give it a try. These certainly are creative! Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Do you mean spray varnish?? Posted on 12/01/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wall Pocket Decorations By gardenlady58102 (52) Profile Contact WOW! I never thought of the popcorn tins! What a great use for something that's cute, but you can never think of what to do with them afterwards! They would be big, but hung in the right place, they'ed be darling! Thanks!

Posted on 11/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wall Pocket Decorations By gardenlady58102 (52) Profile Contact I've also made these with small cans and put a bead of hot glue along the "seam" in the bottom and hang them in the trees and bushes with bird seed in them :0) Posted on 11/20/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wall Pocket Decorations By gardenlady58102 (52) Profile Contact Yep, I use ModPodge...some of the tins I have used fabric, some, like the pears, I used wall paper boarder. After they have dried overnight, I spray them with clear spray paint from Wal Mart (about a $1 a can).These have lasted 4+ years :0) You can also spray paint them any color you like after smashing them..I left these just plain metal.

I was doing a similar project this week with small soup cans & not flattening the bottom -- I have nails in one with a nail but the others are on hold for now :) Posted on 11/20/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wall Pocket Decorations By NanPeg (Guest Post) How do you decoupage the fabric onto the can? Do you use ModPodge? Posted on 11/20/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Wall Pocket Decorations By thriftmeg (404) Profile Contact This such a good idea!!! Will have to try my own variation.
