A table decoration in a little restaurant on my holiday in
Santorini reminded me of how great (and cheap!) decorating with food tin
cans can be! Whether it is for your wedding or for a summer bbq or just
for displaying small plants like they have.
Keep your eyes peeled for interesting cans in posh delis or foreign supermarkets for something a bit more exotic than your Heinz baked beans tin! Or you can just peel off the labels for the plain silver look, or paint them different colours....
Sweet Paul magazine has some great little ideas and projects in their current issue... check out the instructions and more projects here
Or check out Ruffled blog for a another project for covering them in pretty paper.... directions here
