A Small Project

With all painting, molding and sewing projects

swirling around my house lately,

I was feeling the need for a small project.

One that I could start and finish

with in a short time, not weeks!

Wayne and I have found this fun candy at our local market.

The candy comes in small containers

with a metal lid and heavy plastic bottom.

I decided they would be perfect for

storing small office supplies.

I grabbed some left over metal paint and

 painted several layers onto the lids.

After the metal paint had dried,

I took a off white and applied two more coats.

I was originally going for green, however

it was just too intense for what I wanted!

I printed off numbers from the computer

and modpodged them onto the tops of the lids.

Finished and ready for supplies!

This was an extremely easy project and can be done

with any small metal mint/candy type container!

Instead of numbers you can use initials

or even printed words of the items you want to store.

I am having my 100th post give-a-way.

A special thank you to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch,

where I'm linking to Metamorphosis Monday.

A quick up-date on my big project...

the painting is done...

the curtains are made and up...

hallway done (except artwork)...

The next big thing to do is finish the pillows.

I hope to post more before and afters this week.
