Christmas Craft Idea with Paint Cans

Here's a cute idea that we came up with to decorate small spaces using containers that you can buy from The Cary Company. This is perfect for mantels, bookshelves, and even floating shelves as they are very lightweight.

Shop The Look

  1. Small paint cans like our 1/4 pint and 1/2 pint cans
  2. Tall clear paint cans like the 30WK7C
  3. Decorative pine cones
  4. Glitter paper for stars (cut into shapes) or star stickers
  5. Ball ornaments
  6. Red bow

Tips

The height, shape, and color variations give this decor idea a lot of visual interest. We suggest using different-sized pine cones and ornaments to play with both height and weight. Using a color palette for ornaments keeps the look cohesive (we used dark brown, bronze, gold, red, and silver). If you have used small paint cans at home, try wrapping the body with nice paper.
