Diy Tuna can

 Today kits turning trash to treasure

I used tuna or cat food cans to make this collection of butterfly 🦋   in flight 

Clean and paint with white chalk paint. Let dry. Cover outside with glue and scrapbook paper . Inside I added book page and pop dot to hold butterfly.  

My sardines can....

Clean can , paint inside. And add your layer of paper ,lace and flowers.

Tip : this is a great way to use up bits from my collection at home.
