Recycle Cookie/milk Tins to Beautiful Decor Pieces
Continuing in the line of my previous project, this is another recycle idea of creating blue pottery designs on cookie tins or milk tins to use them as planters/decorative pieces.
Here's a before-After transformation picture.
Step 1: Paint the tins in white. You can use primer/gesso/acrylic paint.
Step 2. Draw the design with a pencil. You can even trace the design.
Step 3: Paint the design using the blue pottery colors.
Step 4: Add details to the design. You will get lots of design ideas from the internet, when you search blue pottery.
Step 5: Similarly paint the lid of the tin too.
Step 6: Stick a glass pebble or marble on the lid to use as a handle. It can be any type of shape you want.
Paint the other tin too in a complimentary design.
Once completed and dry, then you will want to apply a coat of varnish.
