Remember this milk can? I had it in my post "Thrifty Finds" awhile back. Well, I finally got around to fixing it up and making it pretty! I used a 2 paint technique to get the look I was after. Hop over to the blog to see how I did it...I've got the full tutorial for you!
Old milk can I picked up at the thrift store for $12 painted with graphics.
I did a 2 paint technique with latex and chalk paint to get the worn effect I was after.
Applying the graphics by hand.
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
This is beautiful. I have one that a friend gave me that's in great shape except around the lid, how did you get the lid off of this?
Thanks for sharing.

I also have an old Milk can that I wanted to work on. What method did you use to applied the white on the black letter at the end of the project. Thank you!
