Craft of the Day. Turning Garbage into Something Useful.



Ok So i have a 9 month old and he goes through a lot of formula i keep thowing away the containers but last saturday when the sun was shining in my windows i got the idea to make them useful. i am generally more creative when the sun is out becuase it makes me happy. anyway. Here is what i did.






You start out with whatever cans or containers you are going to use make sure they are cleaned before hand.




Then decide what paper you want to use. i just used some scrapbook paper i had extra from another project. i made sure it would go all the way around the container. if it doesn't make sure you have enough to cover the other space.


Then i just wrapped it around the container and with a pencil makred where i needed to cut.



Then i used some spray on adhesive spray. (you can get at walmart in the craft section) sprayed the contaner then wraped the paper around it.




Whala








Here are some more that i did. And you could be more creative add words and such.But its a nice inexpensive way to add something to your home and reuse stuff you already have.
