Upcycled Honey Bottles ~ DIY Bear Bookends

💜

I'm absolutely thrilled with how my honey bear bottles turned out! It's amazing what some spray paint can do to transform an item you'd normally toss into the recycle bin without a second thought.

To give them some weight, I filled them with little aquarium rocks. Then I added some paper flowers to spruce them up a bit before giving them a new home on my bookshelf.

Their happy faces make me smile every time I see them!

Pub Mix Container Upcycle ~ DIY Craft Storage

🙛

Pub Mix containers make really great storage, but man is it tough to get the labels off! I tried everything. Soaking them overnight in dish soap, scrubbing like crazy, I even tried scraping the glue off with a putty knife. Nope. That stuff is on there like, well, glue.

Since nail polish remover works well on glass jars, I decided to try it, but that didn't work either. So I scoured the internet and didn't find much. Except for a tip about cooking spray. Desperate to find something that worked, I tried it. Weird, I know, but I sprayed on some Pam and went to town with the scrubby side of a kitchen sponge. It worked. After a ton of elbow grease. And a big mess of oily spray.

In the future, I'll probably just slap my own pretty label on the container and call it a day because getting that glue off took way too much time and energy.

Was it worth all that scrubbing? Yes. I proved to myself that I could get rid of all the gunk and my embroidery thread looks like a wonderful rainbow in its new storage container...

Stephen's Cocoa Can Upcycle ~ DIY Chalk Marker Storage

Over the years I've been saving the cans from my favorite hot chocolate in hopes of someday finding a use for them. Well, after receiving my new chalk markers in the mail, I knew I had the perfect storage solution waiting in the wings.

All I had to do was peel off the label and voila! The silver is what was already underneath and it works just fine until I figure out some pretty paper to cover the cans with.

Chalk markers are supposed to be stored horizontally which makes them look so colorful in my craft room!
