How to make a Paint Can Cross

During a recent “clean-up” process… There was a massive amount of paint can’s that were being thrown away.. {{yes, the paint was dry inside first :)}} The wifey kindly thought of me and said “hey, I thought you could do a project with these” and that was that. The wheels started turning, not that they ever stop {picture coffee eyes}… Getting to the project, I absolutely am SOOOO {{big hug}} happy I kept them because this is “prolly” my favorite craft EVER! I mean, all the colors are from our house over the years!!! Yes {rolling eyes} I paint alot….

Depends on my mood!!! AHHHHHHHHH lol

p.s. first thing i did was place them on the ground in different positions until i was happy with what i had.

p.s. then i just put a piece of wood down the middle to see where i need to cut it.
p.s. when you figure this out all you have to do is get a saw and cut the wood.
p.s. i did the same thing going in the opposite direction.
p.s. get a chisel and cut halfway into the wood. kinda like making a “pot hole”.  we will only do this on one piece of wood. 
p.s. this is what it should look like. 
p.s. once you get that going you will nail them together just like this. 
p.s. place your paint can lids where ever you want. now you can really combine the colors so it feels like it flows.  i also had a couple of small paint can lids that i slapped in there. 
p.s. carefully nail them to the 
p.s.  tadahhhhh.. how cute is this little suckertash. 
p.s. how awesome. don’t forget, if you only have small lids then that’s fine or if you only have big ones then that’s cool too~~
I hope you enjoyed this craft! And remember, if there is anything you like and KNOW you can make but don’t have the TIME you can always shoot me an email or check in my ETSY shop and order it!!!!
until next time…
