Hello, crafty friends! Today, I'm excited to share a new DIY project that adds a touch of charm to any space in your home. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to transform an ordinary tin can into a beautiful wall pocket that's perfect for holding florals or greenery - real or faux.
What You'll Need:
Tin can
Mod Podge
Decorative paper or napkins
Florals (real or faux)
Step-by-Step Process:
Prepare the Tin Can: Start by cleaning the tin can and removing any labels. You will also want to remove both lids/ends.
Apply Mod Podge: Using a brush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the outside of the tin can.
Attach Decorative Paper: Choose your favorite decorative paper or napkin and cut it to fit the size of the tin can. Press the paper onto the Mod Podge-coated surface and smooth out any air bubbles.
Seal with Mod Podge: Once the paper is in place, apply another layer of Mod Podge over the top to seal and protect the paper.
Let It Dry: Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely. This may take a few hours, so be patient!
Add Florals: Once the Mod Podge is dry, you can fill your new wall pocket with florals or other decorative items of your choice.
Hang It Up: Use a nail or hook to hang your wall pocket on the wall, and you're done!
