Exactly what you’ve been looking for and you didn’t even KNOW you were looking for it! That’s what happened to me when I spotted these vintage canisters. I knew as soon as a saw them that they were perfect for today thrift store find and upcycle project!

Vintage Canisters
The first thing I did was thoroughly wash the canisters with hot, soapy water and then let dry. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to paint the canisters one color and the lids a different color. Or not paint the lids and just the canisters. So many choices!
On one side of each canister is a design that is half-way worn off. Which is one reason why I will probably eventually paint them. But until I decide on a color I decided to just leave them as is.
With one exception.
I used a Chalk Couture transfer called Handwritten Font and chalked the words on each canister. Please visit my Chalk Couture Facebook page to see the products I used and exactly how I did it. There even a video!
I’m going to live with them this way until they need scrubbed since the chalk paste is removed with water. If I wanted it to be permanent I could spray them with a sealer.
But I think I will eventually paint the canisters with a white chalky style paint and then use Chalk Couture over that. I’m thinking I might spray paint the tops with a pretty pastel color. What do you think? What would you do with these vintage canisters?
I really like the chalk couture handwritten, it looks like Rae Dunn to me. I think they would look super cute white with pastel tops.
I really like them but Im a rusty denty kind of person 🙂
Love the Jeanie!! They are really cool as is but I could also see them painted white…tough decision for sure!
I really like the chalk couture that you used on them but painting them would be so pretty too.
I like the handwritten words you added but love the canisters as is.
These turned out great! I love the font for the lettering!
The lettering looks great! They would also look good painted but look very nice like this.
I really like this style.
They came out looking amazing! I really like the font that was used for the letters.
