Amber, oh my goodness, those are adorable. Just love them. So do you buy the can's, or use cleaned out real paint cans? And I see you use scrapbook paper to wrap them and then trim for embellishment. Love em , girl you sure are talented...

I buy the new paint cans, because I don't want to be bothered with cleaning them out, ROFL. I buy mine at Menard's and I just heard that Home Depot has them as well. I do use SB paper, (I have TONS of it…..so it's always there at my disposal for whatever thing I want to try, ROFL.) but I recently picked up a huge wall paper book at Menard's. They have a bunch of discontinued ones and the one that I picked up had 2 sheets of complementary styles as well as the border. I can't wait to try to make up a couple cans using the sheets. I think the sheets were 11 by 17 in the book. Ok I'm rambling now, I will stop.  Amber |

I know that Lowe's has several sizes of the new paintcans. Bet smaller ones would make cute gift buckets for children..I am going to get a few of them when I get to Lowe's and try my hand ...I will let oyu know how it goes. And your not rambling..
You should see all the scrapbook paper and supplies I have..LOL.

The ones pictured are the gallon size cans. I have also decorated the smaller cans, quart, I believe, but those did not sell as well as the gallon size ones. You can always use tissue paper to make the can look fuller Amber |
