I love to take an item and turn it into something completely different.  I have an empty popcorn tin that I did not want to throw away, so I thought outside the box and make it into a beautiful stenciled trash can!

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own.

Check out the video how to turn a popcorn tin into an amazing trash can with TCW!!!

I started with a popcorn tin that I was not sure what to do with anymore, and on the flip side my trashcan in my craft room was nasty.  So I put the two together and made a new one!  I started by painting on 2 coats of TCW9001 White Gesso to the can to give it a tooth for the paint to stick to.  I then mixed the TCW9023 Blue Jellybean Heavy Body Paint and TCW9024 Kale Smoothie Heavy Body Paint to get a teal color and painted over the dried gesso.  Then I applied the TCW9010 Silver Gesso with a stipple brush with the 12×12 TCW824 Growing Wild by Carmen Medlin to create the amazing design.

After all the paint and gesso dried I added a clear coat of TCW9007 Clear Gesso to set everything.  I added a little felt ot the bottom so it would ot scratch my floor and it is done.  I love the result and it adds an amazing art piece in my crafty space that actually is functional!!
