Upcycled Tin Can Organizer

Looking to declutter and organize your space in a fun and sustainable way? Why not try creating an upcycled tin can organizer! By repurposing old tin cans, you can bring a touch of creativity to your organizing game while being kind to the environment. Not only will you have a unique and charming organizer, but you'll also be doing your part in reducing waste. Happy crafting and organizing!

I am going to make a storage container/planter. This is going to be a plan as I go project. I will show my supplies as we move along.

First I’m going to take gesso and some turquoise colored acrylic paint, and mix it together.

Now dab it on your can, giving your can a rough texture.

Now take some Mod Podge and a piece of burlap. Paint Mod Podge around your can where you want your burlap to stick.

Wrap burlap around your can, then apply a layer of Mod Podge all over your can, including over the burlap. Let dry.

I decided to embellish my upcycled tin can organizer with some little fabric rosettes, and a wire formed flower.

First I dabbed some metal patina to the wire formed flower, and the wire spirals, to give it some color.

With your hot glue gun start gluing your rosettes, wire spirals, and wire flower on top of the burlap on your can.

Now you have a pretty upcycled tin can organizer / storage container.

Or a pretty planter.
