Anyway..........................
I've noticed that my favorite projects are the ones that literally cost next to nothing. 'Cuz, let's be real...if it's going to be expensive to make, why wouldn't I just let someone else make it for me, and then buy it?
Today I want to share a fun, simple and cheap idea with you. We saved a few of our tin cans, washed them and then I had a great time painting them. This project was two of my favorite things: Fast & Colorful!
So, what would a person do with their reclaimed tin cans?
•Use them to hold pens at a party say, a baby shower.
•Get really fancy, monogram them and then, use them to hold utensils for your child's party.
•Grow some fresh herbs in one.
So, what have you reclaimed lately? Speaking of Earth Friendly ideas, if you haven't already, please go here and enter my Seveneth Generation "Green Your Home" giveaway!

ReplyDeleteSo cute. I love reusing our tin cans. Found you through UBP12 :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, crafting is great, so is color, and if takes something out of the trash even better. I'm a sucker for any type of container. Have you got any ideas for the large plastic "Folgers" type coffee containers. They are a great sturdy plastic, and a cool shape? Any ideas? :) Stopping by from the UBP12! http://www.STEMmom.org
