Cute Can Container Re-Do




I use Pirouette cookies a lot in my birthday cakes' decor.  So the container gets empty really fast..."oh dang this one is broken can't use it on the cake, guess I'll have to eat it"..."one for the cake, one for me, one for the cake, two for me"   you get the idea...but I can't throw them away....after all they are perfectly good containers....so I kept them around trying to figure out what I was going to do with them...I thought about sand blasting the factory design off of them...but I don't have a sand blaster AND they are really expensive to rent AND cost a lot to buy....I didn't think that spray paint would stick...BUT IT DID!!
Years ago I spray painted a desk and bunk beds white (I don't remember why I spray painted them-- it made sense at the time...maybe one day soon I will get pics of them on here) so I have LOTS of white spray paint left over...well not so much now...this project finished off a can and worked on another....


Step 1: After emptying tasty treat from can...

Step 2:  spray paint (it took me at least two coats)
Step 3:  trace a design (I traced different sized buttons)  if you have a steadier hand than I you can skip this step.


Step 4:  Paint your design
As you can see I REALLY like Pirouette cookies.
