Create Decorative Storage.
This is a quick storage idea using coffee cans
covered with decorative papers.
I copied my sheet of decorative paper onto card stock for a heavier weight.
Next, I measured the size and used adhesive roller tape on
the back of the papers before adhering to the can.
By the way, this can was a straight design without the indention you find on tin cans.
They had snap on plastic lids in a neutral color.
To those I hot glued large fabric flowers with center glittered buttons.
That's it, fill it up with craft supplies, sewing items, buttons
and the list goes on.
We can all use extra storage containers.
And basically free, with the cans I would have thrown away.
Got any coffee cans hanging around.
Wrap with pretty paper, top the lid and fill it up!!
See you next time.
~Have a Happy Summer Day~
Blessings,
Celestina Marie

What a clever idea! I'm already thinking of what I could store in pretty coffee cans like these.
Good Morning, Celeste. These look great; what a clever idea. It seems I am always in search of ways to organize small items.
I hope you have a blessed weekend.

Very nice idea Celeste...I love it! I can think of someplace I could use this idea myself. I'd love to have some of those on one side of my desk!
Have a beautiful weekend.

Wow, did they turn out great! They are so pretty. You did such a wonderful job on them.
These look gorgeous and what a smart way to recycle too! ~Diane
Your cans look amazing...good idea.
What a fun idea, Celestina! I love projects that begin with items we normally might just throw away. The paper is perfect, and I just love the polka dotted flowers!
Very cute idea! Great idea for crafters too for some of that stuff that builds up! That's what I call thinking outside the "box" or the "can"! LOL... Have a great weekend!
You are so good. Your work is not only pretty and creative, but well-executed! If I tried this, I assure you it would be crooked! OH how I enjoy watching your work take shape, Celeste!
You know I absolutely love these, Celeste. Simple and beautiful, what's not to love? :) I've been adding a lot of color to my creative space preparing for Karen's blog party, but you know how much I love neutrals.
Your tomato pepper cheese salad is a perfect poolside dish. I think I'll try out that combination this weekend. :)
Have a beautiful one, friend.

Om my goodness, only you, Celeste, could make a coffee can so adorable! What a wonderful idea for extra storage! I love the graphic card stock you chose and the flowers are adorable! Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for sharing this cute idea!
Love this storage idea! It's all about recycling and upcycling to help us and the environment. These treasure cans are a perfect solution for all of us!! Nice look for your storage Celeste. The possibilities are endless.
I'm collecting some containers from large cashew containers (the only treat I get on this new way of eating designed by Russ) to makeover into studio storage. Will hopefully be sharing soon.
Our blog has been a bit neglected due to all going on at Golden Pond but will be doing a new post soon!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas with all of us!!
Love & blessings, Edie
Such a clever way to recycle. Such creative storage idea without spending any extra money.
LOVE!!! My dear Celeste, you took something that would have been thrown away and you created a beautiful piece of art :) I have a few coffee cans that I have been saving for a project and it looks like I now have my inspiration thanks to you :)
Happy weekend, sweet friend! Hugs

These are gorgeous, what a fab recycling idea! GREAT! Hugs, Valerie
Wow! You can 'cute-i-fy' anything!
Your cans are so pretty now, Celeste! I have done something similar with wallpaper on tin cans and lace edging at the top.
Farmhouse hugs!
I LOVE this, Celeste! Cans never looked so good! : ) I have that paper, too, and just love it. I've used it sparingly because I love it so much, but then thought what am I saving it for!
very cute idea! :)
I love this! Right up my alley. Coffee and vintage papers.
Brenda
That's a fun idea. And the lingering coffee scent is good for whatever you store inside! Happy weekend my friend! Hugs, Diane
Hi! What a cute idea! Something so simple but so expensive looking. Good job!
Judy
I love them...so pretty!! I'm not a coffee drinker...wonder what other kind of cans I might have that I can decorate. Great idea to use them for storage. I would love to have some of these in my sewing/craft room.
Hope you have a great weekend.

What a great idea. You always come up with the best decorations ever.
I love the cans and you would never know they are coffee cans. i am going to have to start using coffee that comes in a can. Starbucks is in bags, darn it. What brand do you use?
Have a happy weekend.

Those are beautiful! Besides storage, they would also just be great for decoration. I can just see them on the top of my kitchen cabinets!
Happy weekend.
