Bath. Makeover 2

You've seen in before and you'll see it again: painted tin cans!

Recycling tin cans with a little paint and string gave me some handy dandy containers for my hair and cosmetic organization. Here I have made a container for my hair brushes using a pasta sauce can and two for make-up brushes and tall make-up items (such as maskera, eyeliner, lip liner...etc.) out of soup cans.

First thing's first, I washed the cans, and then drilled a hole in each one near the top (I used the sticky glue area as the back). Next was flattening the metal around the drilled hole with plyers, a couple coats of paint and a cute touch of a string bow. The labela I drew on with a sharpy pen and vuala!
I'll be using the "S" hooks from a cheep package of bungee cords to hang my cans.

I also plan on using a shorter pineapple can for my lipsticks.
Take a walk down the can isle at the grocery store and get inspired by the different sizes!

PLEASE NOTE: I used a Tupperware Can Opener on my cans, prying the lids off without cutting the can or leaving sharp edges!
