More of Trash to Treasure

So I finished my soda pop or water and now have this empty shell. I am not heading for that bin just yet!! 



I heard from a few more people this week and was told of some new uses for our plastic bottles. We are going to get more life out of that before it heads to the recycling. 


A vase as well as a funnel for getting those tricky liquids back into its original bottles. I like the idea of having a plastic vase for those of you that have children or really clumsy people around the house...hehe.


 

I found another great use for my plastic veggie container. I like to place all of my coffee and coffee scoop in it. This way the coffee doesn't cause a mess in my cupboards and I don't have to hunt inside the coffee package to get my scoop!
p.s. Yes, I like to use clothes pins on all types of things and seldom for what they are really made for. Keep that in mind!! There are MANY uses for one product.


 
I just love these ice cream containers. The lid stays on very nice so they are great for leftovers! I am also using one for a sewing kit and another as a first aide kit. Hey, I love ice cream. This is a win win situation!!

Happy days and happy hunting for treasure!
