Canisters With A French Flair - Kitchen Crafts

I found this nifty pair of canisters at a flea market recently and I thought it would be fun to kick it up a notch and give them a little French flair.


Canisters With A French Flair - Kitchen Crafts

Directions:

1. Wash and dry the canisters completely.

2. Die-cut desired size label from an ATC size piece of SHEET Metal (blue side up).  Depending on the die used it may or may not cut completely through but it will cut it enough that you should be able to easily remove the excess metal.

3. Sand the back side of the die-cut label to remove any sharp edges.

4. Flip the label over and remove the protective blue film.

5. Shake the StazOn Cotton White Opaque Inker bottle to ensure it’s mixed, then squirt a bit of the ink onto the metal label and spread around using an Ink Blusher until the entire label has been covered.

10. Bend the metal label to where it fits the contour of the canister.

11. Punch two holes in the upper corners of each label then add necessary findings and chain which will enable you to hang the labels from the canisters.

12. For an extra bit of French flair stamp a fancy flourish and bee on the canister lid using Opaque Ivory Black StazOn Ink. Cover with a thin layer of GlazOn.
