It's been a little while since I have shared a Handmade with Heinz blog post - I had so much fun last Summer with these upcycling makes... but next up is how to turn one Heinz UK can into a pretty make-up brush stand!
Let me know if you give this project a try and be sure to share your can crafts with me!
MATERIALS
1 X EMPTY HEINZ CAN
THICK TAPE
PAINT (ACRYLIC OR HOUSEHOLD EMULSION)
RIBBONS AND / OR LACE
STRONG GLUE
TOOLS
PAINTBRUSH
SCISSORS
MASKING TAPE (OPTIONAL)
GLUE GUN (OPTIONAL)
STEP 1:
IT ALL STARTS WITH A HEINZ CAN...
STEP 2:
BEFORE YOU START CRAFTING, EAT WHAT’S IN THE CAN, CLEAN IT WITH A BRUSH, REMOVE THE CAN LABEL AND (JUST TO BE SAFE) TAPE THE OPEN EDGE WITH A THICK TAPE.
STEP 3:
TIME TO PAINT YOUR CAN - ACRYLIC OR HOUSEHOLD EMULSION PAINT WORKS BEST. EITHER PAINT FREEHAND OR ADD MASKING TAPE TO WITH STRAIGHT LINES. ONCE COMPLETE, ALLOW TO DRY, AND ADD MORE COATS IF NECESSARY.
STEP 4:
SELECT YOUR RIBBONS / LACE. WRAP AROUND THE CAN AND CUT TO THE RIGHT SIZE. GLUE THEM ONTO THE CAN USING STRONG GLUE OR A GLUE GUN. AND VOILA!
ADD YOUR MAKE-UP BRUSHES AND YOU HAVE ONE LOVELY MAKE-UP BRUSH HOLDER, HANDMADE WITH HEINZ
