Spray Paint, Doilies, and Popcorn Tins

 My mother uses these old popcorn tins for her garbage cans all throughout the house.  She has a beautiful home and then there's these "cutesie" popcorn tins?! 
 So last time I was in Iowa, I just couldn't take it anymore.  I dove into each room, gathered them all up, and rummaged through her spray paints and doilies.
  Here's what happened to one of them:



 Zillions of ways to upcycle these tins, I swear.  But hopefully you have some from a few years ago since their size is shrinking significantly each time another Christmas rolls around.  Funny that the price doesn't shrink with the amount of popcorn you get!
