Better Homes and Gardens blogged about using a plastic cereal container and turning it into a trashcan, and I saw the finished idea pinned on Pinterest.
A few days later, I was about to throw away a giant, dishwasher gel pack container that was empty when I realized IT was the perfect size to do the same project.
(container with Mod Podge on it, ready to apply fabric)
Because the container was clear, and I didn't want an ugly trashbag showing in my car, I used some cute fabric scraps to Mod Podge onto my container.
That was it! SO easy. I want to put down some velcro on the bottom of my container to keep the container stable and still in the car, but I am excited to finally have a place to put wipes, napkins, straw wrappers, gum, etc.
(Applying the fabric)
All done!
My little trash generator likes it too! Let's take it to the car!
We certainly generate a lot of trash in that car, so I'm sure this will be great!
ReplyDeleteI need to make one for Brandon, he trashes his car and I refuse to travel in it!!
ReplyDeleteWhy just use this idea for trash? All kinds of ideas are popping into my head. You could repurpose the large kitty little cans for dog food or cat food storage(those cost a fortune). Or make several to use in the laundry room to disguise soap powers or dry bleach.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Good way to think outside the box!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Saw it on Pinterest!
ReplyDeleteFound this on Pinterest! Seriously the cutest idea EVER. As soon as I empty mine I m going to make one for the laundry room!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by! This is still one of my favorite little crafts--so useful. I appreciate the encouragement!
Deleteanother idea to keep it from moving around in the car is to place a rock on the bottom of the garbage can under the bag.
