MELT away the stress...

This is a BLAST from the PAST
I am linking up with






I thought you all... especially in the East would enjoy my ice melt container...





With all the house buying nonsense going on

I needed to start and complete a project or I think I would go insane

I had this can for quite a while now and could not decide what to do with it!

It is a HUGE Biscotti  can with a rope handle and a lid!

I knew I wanted to store stuff in it and what better to store but ICE MELT for the patio (soon to be)

So I sanded the can lightly as you can see and then I began spray painting it. 

I thought about removing the handle and then decided that it was super sturdy and why risk a catastrophe by changing it.

I painted the rope along with the can.. while it was still attached of course

 

The paint I used was SILVER ALUMINUM from Walmart

I was going to use another color but then did an enie meni minie moe and this is the color that was chosen

PLUS... 

it reminds me of ICE and the can is for ICE MELT... 

Get it?? LOL

Here is the can all shiny and new

The rope did not turn out too bad either 

Thing is I can see every imperfection in the can now... like the places it was SLIGHTLY dented (I could not even see them before) and the places where I was too heavy on the sanding... 

Oh well it is not like it wont get even worse over the winter

CHARACTER is what I like to call it

So I used my handy dandy Cricut to cut out the letters

M E L T

And here is the can... the bad picture taking skills are included free of charge

 

Oh by the way I think I paid 50 cents for the can!

I think it is CUTE!
