Hello, everyone! Kristi here today and I wanted a fun pencil holder with style so I repurposed a noodle can for the perfect addition to my table! So I’m doing step by step on this one! I start with my container and remove the label!
The label is my “pattern” so I cut my ivory paper to size and now the fun begins! I used stamps from Ann’s Line from Clearsnap and the wonderful Colorbox Crafter’s Ink® in Blueberry!
I stamp the primary design then come in with the secondary design and layer the designs and the ink color. Sunshine is the second color added. I did heat emboss the entire image. 
I hope you can see the shine from the sparkle embossing powder I used on the entire project! And yes, I have to add the bling.
Next I attached the paper to the can and added my bling. I then used Makin’s Clay to make some heart embellishments. I did dry them on the can so they would have the slight curve.
I painted all of my heart pieces with Earthsafe Finishes™ in Ann’s Colors! The hearts were then attached with Tombow Mono Multi Adhesive.
Now I have a really fun and functional pencil/pen holder and upcycled my noodle can! It also has bling appeal.
What can you repurpose/upcycle??
Thank you for sharing Kristi. I love seeing upcycling projects.
