Hello everyone! How's your weekend? I am sure most of us spent it at home due to keeping ourselves away from coronavirus.
Due to this virus, I have a lot of canned vegetables at home as I would not be having fresh veggies from the supermarket. Most of my canned goods are with peas and carrots.
I am thinking of making my empty cans for making painted flower pots for my balcony. I am already seeing them beautifully arranged in my balcony.
I have started it today with getting off the paper print from the can. Tomorrow I will be painting it with a white first coat from acrylic color. I got it from my artist better half. Then when the first coat will dry, I might paint it again. Then I will be creative on painting it. I still don't know the motives but well, I am spontaneous and will see it how it will look after that. I already have different colors from the leftovers of paints my hubby has.
Anyway, I am sure the painted flower pot cans that I make will be so bright and vibrant in colors. We will see.
Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful weekend at home.

Yes, I am already having a great time painting the first and second coat. It seems very therapeutic to me. I forgot a few minutes about the virus. Thanks @LindaOHio
