Altered Paint Can

I hadn’t made one of these for a while, so I thought I would make this one to hold a gift for my friend Kori Lee who just had her baby boy. She’s decorating his room in western décor. I though she could possibly use it for something in there. Altered paint cans are fun to decorate. You can buy new empty ones at Lowes or Home Depot for around $4. I especially like to decorate ones for girls because you can do so much more with fancy frillies such as ribbon up the handles ect. But this one was fun too! I just had to be careful and not make it to “girly” or her husband wouldn’t let it in the nursery ; )

Hey Shantel, it’s good to see that your back!
To answer your question, I use it to put a gift in to give to
someone. They can use it for decoration in a room or as I told my friend, she could use it for
a door stopper : ) It could also be used as a bookend. Basically anything you find a use for it ; )
