Goodwill Transformation: Kitchen Canisters


Oh how I love thrifting.  I found some nifty canisters on my recent trip. $3 for both.  Nice, right?
They had a cute shape, but uggggly color!




I gave it a quick coat of primer. 
(by the way, my spray paint gun is my new BEST friend!!)



I decided I liked the white, so I gave it a few good coats of white spray paint.




Added a vinyl # 1 and 2
(using my handy cricut machine!)



Hot glued on a little twine.....



Voila, new canisters that are cuuuute!

    I found the spray paint gun thingy at Lowe's. It was only like $2.50. In the paint section, near the spray paint! Works greeeat! No more sore fingers.

    I am with you! I love thrift store shopping and bought a whole set of canisters and thanks for sharing the idea. Now, I can spray paint it into a color that I want since I wanted to paint our kitchen wall again.

    Angela,
    I got it at Lowe's. It is was hanging up near the spray paint section. It was under $3 I think. I love it!

    How well is the spray paint holding up on those canisters? Any chipping? I've wanted to spray paint ceramic but I'm not sure how well it will work. I just don't want it to chip off from being used.

    That is so great! It is nice to know more about that chalkboard spray paint. I am going to get my first can today for a few projects I have in the works. Can't wait to see more projects!
