DIY Vintage Canisters

I don’t know what it is, but I love to repaint old ugly dated things and make them pretty again. So naturally when I spotted these Vintage canisters they were speaking to me, PAINT ME! How could I say no?

Pretty right? I think they were a staple of every 70’s kitchen, including my mothers. 🙂

For best results when painting anything, prep work is your best friend! A good cleaning in hot soapy water. Paint will not adhere well to grease or wax. A light sanding, then some painters tape to protect the lid edge.
