I love finding new ways to use old things so I'm really pleased with my tin can up-cycling project....A couple of weeks ago I shared with you my super pretty DIY painted vase project and mentioned that I'd spray painted a few other things at the same time - some turned out great, others not so much.The can of spray paint that I used was enough to spray paint a lot of things!I've already told you about the vase so I'll just quickly tell you about the clock and then I'll move on to today's main event! ;-)The copper was a little brighter than I was expecting but I decided … [Read more...]
