Upcycled & Repurposed Popcorn Tin into a Trash Can that is a Work of Art

I love having a little bit of decor the the most random of all places, including my trash can!!  I took an old popcorn tin and turned it in a trash can for my craft studio and made it some extra special!!

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.


Here is a video showing how to turn this popcorn tin into some amazing!!



I started with a really bright red tin, but I covered it with a layer of gesso to make it white, and then a layer of teal paint - because I love that color!!


 I then used a pretty stencil with some silver gesso to apply the design and make it amazing!  The Dynasty stencil brush really made this step super easy!  After the stencil dried I also applied a layer of clean gesso to the whole tin to seal in all the paint and make it a little more scratch resistant.


Last I applied a circle of felt around the bottom of the can so it would not scratch up my floor or be noisy.  I used the Supertite Multi-grab 360 glue for a good firm grab between the tin can and felt.

I have now used this tin in my house for the last 4 months and it still looks amazing!!  What will you make with your leftover popcorn tins?

Family Flip Flap Mini Scrapbook Album

I love to give a little mini album to the grandparents each year.  This year is a little flip flap album that is clean and simple, but full of little surprise flaps that hide little fun pages.  This book is super easy to put together, all you need is 4 sheets of cardstock!  Check it out below.

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.


I first started by taking 4 sheets of cardstock and and Xyron Tape Runner to creating the base of the flip flap books.  These are so easy to make, and kind of addicting!  Check out the video below to see how. 


I then used the Wild Whisper Forever and Always paper collection for all the insert and flaps in the book.  They were the perfect fit of colors of masculine and feminine so that each page work for all the members in my family.  Check out how I embellished each page n the video below.


To stick all the chipboard, papers, and pictures into the book I used the Xyron Tape Runner or the Xyron 3" Sticker maker to make these books to fast and easy to make!  Check out some the pages below.  Check out the video above for all the page details.


Do you make little albums to give as gifts?
