Calling all Coffee Drinkers! Neat DIY!

January 28, 2012
Are you a coffee drinker? If so, then you might have some of these babies laying around: 

And if you’re  like me, you've probably thought twice about throwing them out. I was sure they'd make good bird feeders, plant holders, or the obvious storage containers, but I still wasn't satisfied. Then I came across this post from Robin's Blog. 




She made some cute labels for these containers that I can totally use in my classroom & I hope you can too. Be sure to soak them with water & baking soda beforehand to remove that strong coffee smell. This is exactly what I was looking for! Stop by her blog and grab your set. 

Here are some more great ideas: 


You can also find printable labels on Folgers.com. You can even make your own design. 


They also make great drums!!!


The possibilities are endless!!

    Great ideas! I added a pin to pinterest (2nd grade squad) which shows how to use them to store your center supplies. Who knew Folgers had so many uses? Gotta love it!

    What a great idea! These containers are so nice and it is nice to see them recycled. Love the idea of a printed picture on the outside of what is stored inside!

    Great ideas!! I have a stock pile of toilet paper rolls, little plastic containers AND the Folgers containers (my husband is going to recycle them all one day if I don't use them soon!)

    Thanks for the inspiration! Have a great weekend :)

    Great ideas! However, I do not drink coffee, so I'll have to find someone who does :)

    We drink this coffee at work! I am totally "borrowing" the container once we use all the coffee. :)
