I'm trying to make good on my decision to look at all my recycling and packaging with new eyes and have been spending a lot of time scanning blogs for inspiration. The goal is to doll up plain containers I already have or re-use containers that might have ended up in the trash or recycling.

There were a couple quick projects I did to try to get into it:

After I tried those couple of containers, I wanted to use up a milk carton I had. I was thinking that if I cut off the top and weighted it with some sand in a sewn baggy, it wouldn't be so flimsy and could be covered and make a decent tool cup, but I found a project that is WAY better!

( Cool quick project! )
