Because I’ve always been a waste not kind of girl. I’m always saving tin cans to hold my paint brushes, pens, and flowers. They are the perfect size and I can always pain or stencil them.
I recently planned a Spring tablescape for my screened porch and the inspiration was these cute napkins that I fell in love with. Wishing I could have found more accessories to match these napkins, I decided I’d try my hand at covering some tin cans with extra napkins.

This project worked so well, I got carried away and covered several tin cans. Here are the steps and materials I used.






After the mod podge napkin is dry, then gently apply another thin coat of mod podge to the exterior of the napkin to seal. Note: you may see bubbles form. Don’t panic, these will smooth out once the piece is dry. Just be careful to use a light coat and move on. Over rubbing or brushing, while applying this coat, can cause the napkin to rip .




Thanks you for stopping by. I hope this will inspire you to try think outside the box when planning your home decor. If you have any questions, please ask me here. I appreciate all comments. Be sure to subscribe to my blog, so you don’t miss any DIY projects.

Just found your site. Very Impressed! Did you do the dishes as well? Can you eat on them/wash them?
Helen,
I’m so glad you stopped by. Thanks so much for following along. No the dishes came that way. You would have to have a food grade washable sealer to use this technique on dishes.
have a great day.
