Reuseable Plastic Containers

Like I always do, I head to 

PINTEREST

when I want ideas for 

projects.

Saturday, I had a question~

DIY Projects for 

Coffee Creamer

Plastic Containers.

Here is what I came up with, 

which also sent me to uses

for other plastic containers.

I don't use the creamer that comes

in clear containers, but you 

could always lable them for 

whatever you put in them.

I like this idea 

BUT I have a lot

of ribbon!

I see that thought in your head,

the one that is saying, "of 

course she does"!!!!

One thing I have used the containers

for in the past that I never

found on PINTEREST is

 for the kids. My grands seem

to head out with my glasses, so 

when they were younger I used

to keep straws on hand, fill up

a container with the drink of 

choice, slap the lid on with 

a straw and it don't matter if

it don't get returned. 

Make cookies to give to a friend,

stack them in a creamer container. 

I am a recycler to a point,

and it bothers me to throw 

glass jars, cans and plastic

containers out. But there comes

a point that you save them and you

have way to much. So maybe 

use a coffee container as a gift...

or the gift wrapping.

This is a cute idea.

Or maybe you need a set of

canisters?

 

 How do you store plastic

forks and spoons?

Or what is a good way of 

having them out at 

a cookout?

You could try this.

More uses around the house

for coffee containers would be

for those endless supply of

plastic bags!

 cute idea.

Not sure what type of containers

these are, but you could also

use a coffee container. Easy to 

store and if you have this stuff

in a garage with other stuff, they

would be great for stacking.

If you love feeding birds, 

or helping with with homes for 

them, coffee containers

come in handy.

 

The one below is so adorable,

BUT,

I would not use a can for 

a birdhouse, fear of it

getting to warm inside for 

eggs.

You could make 

a cute silk flower

arrangement. However, I 

see using them, both cans

and plastic outside for 

plants, drill holes in the bottom

and plant a plant.

You could do something like 

below or cover with scrapbook

paper or spray paint, I 

however, would seal them so 

they hold up.

 Or, think Halloween!

Think plastic, and 

reusable. 

I personally like saving

glass jars and reuse 

for storage. 

A friend gave me a container

like this, protein powder came 

in it, I took scrapbook paper and 

Modged Podged it around

the plastic container, 

Then I applied stickers,

that spelled Dakota

on it, and that is what I stored

in dog food in it. 

What do you use to store in 

that is not the regular

usage.
