Hi there, so glad to have you here.
Today I am sharing upcycled mod podged cans. Soup cans to be exact.
If you have never used mod podge yourself, I would say give it whirl!
It’s fun and really quite simple.
Started with some simple supplies.
Old Magazines,
tin cans
mod podge
twine
brushes
scissors…
easy enough!
First let me talk about my hydrangea…
you remember my sweet Birthday present from a dear friend back in April?
HERE
I have not killed it yet.
What I have learned is hydrangeas love Water and they love sun.
So I kept her well watered and near my kitchen window.
Pretty variations of green and blue..my favorite colors…oh and I love yellow too of course!
It’s sunny and happy.
I suppose you wanted to see the cans!
I thumbed through to find mostly garden and flower pictures.
It is summer after all.
I had fun playing around as to where to put these cans.
They looked pretty in both place.
I mostly tore the pages…I only used scissors to cut my twine.
As you can see I wrapped the top of the cans.
I love my cans!
{did that sound wrong?}
I sure said the word CANS a lot in this post.
too lazy to go and edit..at least I spelled it right.
Thanks for stopping by.

I always forget to tell you all that I am on facebook, and I love to chat it up over there!
Come chat it up with me.
I love hydrangeas! I never thought to try to keep them indoors though. Cute “cans”. :O)
These are too cute!! Now I need to decorate my cans. 😉
Love your cans Debbie:) and your Hydrangeas are beautiful. I can’t seem to grow them here, I think our soil type is wrong for what they like:(
Those are really cute cans! Your hydrangeas are so pretty. You have them inside? I never thought of having them inside before!
Hi Debbie,
Your cans look beautiful. I love decorating with cans as you know.
Dee
Super cute and so summery!! They look so pretty sitting on your window!

I’ve been meaning to ask you about the type pf plate holder you use for the 2 plates. I love that soooooooooooo much.. would you mind sharing? you may have already and I missed it.

Can you believe that I’ve never decopauged anything? I guess I’m the only one! Ha! It looks like it’s fun to do. Your “cans” (ha!) turned out great! They make such cute vases for those flowers.
You make the simplest things look good, Debbie. You have such a knack for that.
You’re so funny Debbie…cans LOL. I love your cans! I haven’t mod podged in forever either but I just peeled the labels off some tiny bottles of syrup from Cracker Barrel so there may be some mod podging in my future:)
These are darling Debbie Dear! Your hydrangeas are gorgeous!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 🙂
Loving the mod-podged cans on the window sill….looks so pretty in blues and greens! They look happy in your beautiful kitchen:) Beautiful pictures! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!Hugs,Poppy
Deb,
Great job!! Looks wonderful and you surely can not beat the price.
When you have a chance, please stop by and see my faux brick patio concrete floor!!
Hugs,
Deb
So cute Debbie! I haven’t played with MP in awhile either. I should try it again. These turned out so cute!
You’ve got great cans!! If you’ve got them, flaunt them!
Glad your hydrangea is thriving!!

I just have to tell you that I love opening your blog. Your new header is just a delight. Your cans are awesome…I’m not a mod podge person but I just may have to try it. I think your hydrangeas stole the show right out from under your cans! Happy Sunday Debbie…
I love those cans too! They looked wonderful and don’t look anything like cans at all..Oh now, I said cans three time 🙂
Do you know I can’t throw away cans? but never done it with mod podge! That might be next 🙂
I like these and never heard of this craft / where have I been, lol…
I think I am going to try this craft down the line ! 🙂
The flowers are gorgeous
Your ‘cans’ are very clever! Thanks for hosting 🙂
Susan
Those cans are Ka ute! I have not mod lodged in a while. I wish my blue hydrangeas would stay blue, but they are turning a pale green on the bush.
Your hydrangeas are beautiful! 🙂
Great cans you got there! Hugs, Ginger
Thank you for hosting! Sorry… my picture cropped awkwardly so I am sending through another.
I do want to do something with mod podge soon! Just have never done it, like haven’t done spray painting and can’t get myself to try it yet! I want to glue twine around a tall cream colored fat candle for my beachy look. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh Debbie, you know how I love hydrangeas….I love the mod podge can vases….Great idea to use cans…I would have never have thought to do that….again, you are the creative one!!….They turned out terrific!..Love them!
Thanks for hosting, Debbie! I love your Mod Podged can vases! Tooo Cute!!! 🙂 Have a wonderful week 🙂
Your hydrangeas look beautiful in your mod podge cans 🙂
Oh, girl, I LOVES me some Mod Podge but I always say modge podge–can’t help it. I especially liked your recent shoe form and last year’s Halloween decor (because I love Halloween) projects you did. We should get together and cut and glue some time!
Debbie,
Your cans look great. I’ve been playing around with a little modge podge too. Fun stuff!
Thanks for hosting
Have a great week!
Debbie, Thank you so much for hosting this party for us “newbies!” It is such a great opportunity for us to meet one another and to get our little blogs out there in the big blog world!
what beautiful cans, such a great idea and limitless resources for materials, your hydrangea is lovely! My favorite flower, they dry so beautiful as well, just spray them with hair spray after they dry and they last for ever!
I have never mod podged…..Can you believe that? I think I need, too.
Cutest cans I’ve ever seen ….:)
Hi Debbie,
I like your “cans” 🙂
Thanks for hosting,
Laura
Love the cans…our Hydrangea’s haven’t bloomed yet! I can’t wait though to clip a few and bring them in. Happy Monday!
Super cute! Debbie you are amazing. Love the hydrangeas.

You have quite a set of “cans” ……I mean, I like your mod podge can project Debbie! 🙂 Too funny! Thanks for hosting the Newbie Party too! Jane
I thought Hydrangeas liked shade better? I’m so confused!!! Mine was getting sun & it died.
Now those are just too cute!! Thank you for hosting.
Hi again Debbie! J’adore the upcycled cans. I will try it. I love the haint blue, as I am a Southerner at heart..living in Ohio.lol Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos! Love your blog girl! Dianna (Siunny109)
Hi Debbie; I think I could ‘copy cat’ your can/modpodge/gardenpictures flower holders. Your pictures are terrific. Thanks for hosting this week, I added Canada Day (bit early but it took forever to get the collages togethers, finding enough red/white).
Denise

Beautimous! Your cans are quite lovely!
Jessica
I love your hydrangeas! I never saw that pretty green variety! I’ve been bringing some in too, mine are deep purple. I just use vintage vases that I’m waiting to sell. but I did use white glue to decoupage the boxes that we display car magazines in at the car show. I will have to make some decoupaged cans, they are really cool!
Hiya Deb,
I love reading about you and your family. : ) Love these cans, reminds me of when I was a little girl. Thanks for hosting another week.
~Bee~
I love my mod podge & all the crafty, wonderful things you can do with it. Your hydrangeas are truly stunning! I wish my thumb was green instead of black so I could grow such beauties. Maybe it’s all the paint on my hands. Oh well, a girl can dream can’t she. Thanks for hosting, I’m truly having such a great time mingling & getting to know everyone! Have a wonderful week.
Oh I missed the party this week!! Darn! But I still can meet many newbies in this blogging world! What a great list you have this week!
