Swiss Miss Can {Repurposed} as a Tea Container

Hello fellow bloggers! Just thought I would share a simple little project that has made me surprisingly happy considering it is a small change.

My husband loves to drink tea, whereas I am more of a Diet Pepsi kind of person. Anyway, he tends to leave out on the counter the cardboard box thing that the tea comes in from the store. It's not a big deal - I know I have at least one or two a hundred annoying habits. But if you can fix the problem without having to go through the struggle of changing the behavior, then why not, right?

I was about to throw away an empty Swiss Miss can in the trash (and I was feeling guilty about it. Thanks a lot, Al Gore! Just kidding. I really am an avid fan of recycling.) when I realized that I good repurpose it. Yay! (Thankfully, my guilt was allayed....{sigh of  relief}.) So, this is where scrapbook paper and double-sided tape come in. I think the rest is pretty much common sense.  :)

Having this container sitting on our kitchen countertop is much more pleasing to the eye!

What have you all repurposed/recycled? I'd love some other ideas, because I truly do feel much better about myself when I can reuse something instead of sending it to the junkyards forever.
