Ballard Designs Knock Off, revamped

You old timers may remember this post, where I knocked off a Ballard Designs detergent tin for about 1/6 the price.

That tin was a *little* blah, if I’m being honest…especially since my counter tops and walls are pretty much the same shade of boring.

I busted out the glossy red spray paint and look at it now:

I painted right over the top of the existing vinyl lettering. Then before I peeled it off I scored the edges with an Exacto knife and then pried up the corner with the point of a safety pin and peeled.

I love it and wish I’d done it ages ago!
