my creative space - tin cans............

It's time for my link up with Kirsty, my creative space project this week is all about tin cans. I seem to have a recycling bee in my bonnet at the moment and after filling my house with jam jars wrapped in cosy crochet cosies I have moved onto tin cans.

With new can openers you are left with a very safe edge so no risk of nasty cuts and the tins can be used for all sorts of things. I have washed mine, taken off the labels and then covered in masking tape. Then I have decorated them with washi tape in a variety of different colours, and widths - so lovely.
                                                                                                          


Until recently I hadn't experienced the delights of washi tape, Kate introduced me to it and added a few rolls with my birthday present - I'm now hooked and want to add more colours and designs to my small collection

This looks an amazing collection - just been added to my wish list .............


I've just found a pinterest page full of project ideas............so lovely. Don't forget to pop over to Kirsty's page for a bit of inspiration.

Talk soon x

    I love your blog and look what fabulous things you've done with those tin cans. Gorgeous. I haven't worked with washi tape before, it does look very interesting.

  3. I love washi tape. Great idea to decorate tin cans. I have made glass jars into pretty jars with my tapes, and decorated a journal.
