Scripture-A-Day Paint Can Tutorial featuring ODBD and where to find today's blog candy!

Oh, yes! We have another blog candy to give away and you'll find out where it is after reading through my Scripture-A-Day paint can tutorial.


I loved making this because it was not my usual altered can. I would always tie coordinating ribbons around the handle and use solid decorative paper around the can, but this time I wanted the scriptures to be the main focus, especially since the can was see-thru.

You will need:

* Several Our Daily Bread designs stamp sets (notice my stack of ODBD sets? LOL)
*1 clear paint can Add Image
*2 coordinating decorative papers to cover can
*coordinating light-weight cardstocks to stamp scriptures on
*ribbons
*fabric flowers
*Xyron sticker machine
*Nestabilities Small Classic Circles (largest circle in set)

Cut two pieces from your first sheet of decorative paper:
4 3/4" x 12 strip
2" x 12 strip

Run the two strips of paper through a Xyron sticker machine. If you are using die-cut scrapbook paper like the one I used, make sure to rub around the paper to remove excess adhesive. Wrap the longest strip first around the can. Adhere the smaller piece to cover the gap. It was easy to cut away this paper around the handles. If using regular decorative paper, mark off where the handle holes will be and use a circle punch to punch out the holes.

Cut a lid cover from your other decorative paper using the largest Nestabilities circle in the set. Run it through the Xyron machine and adhere it to the lid.

Put aside your paint can and select your favorite scriptures from your collection of ODBD stamp sets. I stamped my scriptures on beige, craft and olive green cardstocks. Once you have all the scriptures you want stamped, trim your pieces. Roll them into scrolls and secure with ribbon and fabric flowers. Make sure to not trim your cardstocks too small or else you won't be able to roll them into scrolls.



I tied burlap ribbon around the front of the can and since I had leftover flowers I secured a bundle through the knot.
