Make Something Today - Upcycling Popcorn, Candy & Cookie Tins for Spring

You have probably seen lots of ideas for upcycling popcorn, cookie, and candy tins. And what is not to love about recycling these containers? They are sturdy and it is a shame to just throw them away.  We have a special round up of ideas focusing on ways to upcycle them for Spring.

Road trip coming up this spring? How cute and useful are these little containers?




















This is a lovely, shabby chic style project from our favorite graphics website - thegraphicsfairy.com

















Sisal rope, lots of hot glue and a large popcorn tin! This would be decorative and useful indoors or outdoors.




















Don't toss the lid! This cute button clock would be at home in a child's room or a craft room. 















Ready to try one of these ideas? We have lots of tins waiting for you!

Make Something Today - Tea Cup Gardens

So cute! Tea cup gardens are easy and pretty and sweet, and why not make a few? Treasure hunt for tea cups and saucers of all varieties at Goodwill. Maybe make a couple to give away to friends?

Kitchen Herb in a Tea Cup
Found vintage spoons can be stamped or use a sharpie to write the name of the herb in each cup.
