Toby Tin

Why did I pitch all those Christmas popcorn tins through the years? This idea has been floating around social media for awhile, but I decided to change things up a bit, see below . . .

Most of the repurposed tins I have seen were spray painted. I was worried about the paint chipping easily, though any paint on tin has a tendency to do this. Besides, I have a quart of black chalkboard paint in my paint stash. I used a foam brush and after several coats of paint I was satisfied with the coverage. Applying Annie Sloan black wax next and letting that cure for a day I was ready to add the vinyl lettering. I used my cutting machine to cut out the lettering, but any method of decoration at this point is possible.

Vinyl lettering can be fickle, especially on something that is used often and will eventually start to raise. Also, again paint on metal can chip, so I decided to brush on two coats of Mod Podge. Hopefully, that will seal the paint and vinyl lettering. We will see!

If you are wondering who Toby might be, well here is Toby. He has been on the blog before, and received attention galore! He is a Softcoated-Wheaten Terrier. I will be using the tin for his toys.

Just found your blog. Noticed you were in Shell Knob. We bought a house there last year and have been remodeling it. We live an hour south in Huntsville. You and I have the same likes and I'm excited to look through your blog!
