Months and months ago I picked up these three enamel tins in the op shop with vague ideas to upcycle them in some way. They’ve stayed tucked away in a cupboard until now.
I was out and about shopping when I discovered a new shop filled to the brim with gorgeous ethnic bohemian stuff. Clothes, jewellery, candles, furniture, books, trinkets, incense…. oh my it’s a treasure trove! Their website is Ishka Homewares and it’s beautiful. They had a 50% off sale so I picked up quite a few things, amongst them this heavenly hand blocked paper and I knew it would be perfect for the canisters!
So I armed myself with a can of gold spray paint and my brand new tub of Mod Podge (you should see this thing it’s enormous ) and cut three strips of paper for the bases and three teeny strips for the handles on the lids.
Once sprayed with a couple of coats of gold, I glued down the paper strips.
Then once they were dry I brushed a nice thick coat of Mod Podge over the top.
I love them!!!!
I have a huge collection of tea tins (I drink a lot of tea!), and these are definitely among my favourites!

Very nice! I love that it is upcycled. Its very pretty.
