Painted Canister Holder & Wine Glass

 

This is a gift I made for my sister and my mother.

The canister's were actually Bailey's canisters. The canisters were given to me by a friend that works in bar & restaurant...I recycled it by painting them with enamal paint and purchased wine glasses from what use to be a 99 cent store for only $1.19 each. All together I only spent about $4.90...talk about bargin and savings.

I turned two plain objects into elegant decor pieces. 

 













                                             Tip

The center around the canister of first picture is a piece of art paper...before I placed it on the canister, I painted the paper first with acrylic paint then I stamped it with ink. I then painted flowers over the background. Using Mod Podge, I carefully decoupaged it on the can...I placed the mod podge on the can first a section at a time, placing the paper and pressing as I add mod podge...mod podge will smudge the stamping ink once you start layering it on top of paper...I layered it using one stroke at a time on each section until it dried to prevent ink smudge. Then I gave it another top layer.

There are different kinds of mod podge. I used Mod Podge Gloss Luster by Plaid.
