Giveaways coming soon & a little craftiness.

Updated: I'm updating this post for the paint project for the CSI Project. I'm looking forward to their challenges and everything they share.

Look what I made! This was inspired by a tin I saw at Hobby Lobby, but could never catch on sale. So I decided to make my own. I found an old coffee tin and spray painted it white. It took several coats of the spray paint to cover the color of the tin. Then I used my Slice to cut letters out of adhesive backed vinyl. And voila! I now have a new cute container to hold the cooking utensils I like keeping on the counter. The tin was free and the can of spray paint cost about $3.80 at Lowe's. So my crafter friends, what have you been making lately? I'd love to see your projects so please share.

It looks like you bought it! Great job on upcycling too! I need to check out cutting vinyl letters when I’m back in the US!
