Re-use

Ive been needing containers for my bathroom for a while..

I knew id found them when i saw these

Their holiday candy at Walmart

$3 a piece

I bought 2

Jujufruits and the candy corn taffy

yummy!

i emptied the candies into baggies

(keep better that way anyways)

I removed the ribbon from the lid

and i removed the labels.

i had to soak the lids in soapy water to remove the label

I replaced the ribbon

and voila.. no work at all!!

I filled them with cotton balls and q-tips

the canisters can either stand straight up or at an angle

here they are in my bathroom

 Side note:

I got the awesome grasses and bamboo from the dollar store

and my favorite thing, the elephant

from goodwill for $2

the containers fit right into my decor,

 and i plan on decoupaging them when i find the right paper of fabric

But now i need to figure out how to display then.

both facing out..

up and wide

or up and together..

what a conundrum...LOL

Lil secret...here's how the shelf really looks in my bathroom

I keep speakers in there

I like to listen to music while getting ready or showering

Merry Crafting and

Happy Halloween!!

A lil bit better...

Well... I havent posted in a few days.. ive been sick as a dog!! it really sux. especially since its been so beautiful outside. weve gotten over 3 inches of snow in the past 2 days. the roads have been too icy to really go anywhere but its nice to enjoy the pureness of the white snow. and luckily we live right next to walmart so we can just walk right over when we need something... over the past few days all ive really been doing is sleeping and crafting. over the past 3-4 days ive made 3 or 4 beanies, workin on my hubbies blanket and a few other things. ive appliqued a few onesies, etc. some more of my completed projects include...

A "reupholstered" headband for the kiddo

Applique added to my boys vest. hoping to touch it up a bit.( found the vest at goodwill for $1)

Felt applique onesie

my favorite: Father and son matching beanies...
