Refurbishing Old Canisters

I love using canisters in my kitchen, living room and bathroom to store food, baking supplies, candy, cotton swaps and other small items. When I came across a couple of canisters at my local thrift store last week, I knew I had to snatch them up. Sometimes when I come across used canisters, they can be icky or not really my style. To give old canisters a personable touch and to match my decorating style, I refurbish them with paint, glitter, scrapbook paper and/or stencils.

With Halloween only a few days away, you can also refurbish an old canister to store Halloween candy to pass out to trick-or-treaters or keep out of site from your children.

Do you like to use canisters to organize areas in your home? What do you do with old canisters?
