My very first TUTORIAL!

Although I dream of the day when I have a kick-a blog with tons of craft tutorials, let's face it, it will probably never happen. I seriously love getting my craft on! Just ask anyone who knows me. I also love to keep it budget friendly! Today I decided to re-do (..uh more like replace;) ) my kitchen canisters that hold my baking goods, I.e flour, sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar. I have been on a serious hunt to find something cuter to do other than the fabulous Walmart ones I have. Although I didn't find an example anywhere (yes I even spent hours on end on Pinterest.. And I just couldn't find anything that stuck out to me) I came with these cute things! 


Seriously:) I hope you find them as cute and fun, not to mention EASY peasy, as I did! 

Everything I already had or found at Hobby Lobby. The canisters were under $4 (they were on sale 50% off) I got four but it's totally personal preference. 
This was for my biggest one. So really budget friendly! 

I am going to be doing my kitchen in our new home red and mustard. Probably two if the hottest colors right now, they are not hard to find. So I chose to use burlap and twine but which is actually called Juke? I found that out today;)  anyways you will also need some embellishments (I chose to use the flowers) a hot glue gun, and scissors. If you don't have a hot glue gun any strong glue will work. But really who doesn't have a hot glue gun?? 

All four canisters were really simple. 
My tallest one... 
First I wrapped burlap around it and hot glued it in place. ( I bought the burlap by the roll, it's much easier than cutting strips!) next I coiled the JUKE (aka twine) around the middle. There's no set amount you should use, just eyeball it and make it look good. 


My next one... 
On this one I used the mustard burlap, twine and an embellishment. That's it! :) 

Note: I did fold the roll of burlap in half so it wasn't as thick. I didn't want to cut it and have it be a complete mess so just fold it if you also don't want a thick band. 

The third one... 
This one I did with red burlap, more twine and an embellishment. I chose to only do two canisters with the flowers but really you could do them all with flowers. 


I glued the flower over the seam so that it hid it from being seen. Either way is fine. 

Last one... 
Easy enough I just wrapped the twine/juke stuff around it and that's it. :) 




I am loving my new baking canisters and they're going to look so cute in my new kitchen! 

If you make these I would love to see them too! You can email them to me @ rebroberts@outlook.com
