Decorated Powdered Drink Containers

With four kids, we go through the powdered drinks (crystal light) quickly in out house, leaving lots of little plastic containers around. I started wondering what I could use them for and if I could make them look cute.  I found they can be cut down too if they are too tall.

{Here are some uses for them}

Hair accessories, tooth brush holder, makeup brush holder, travel jewlery container, bead holder, needle point floss holder (cut cardboard to slide into container and wrap floss around it.  Great for kids that make friendship bracelets) May Day baskets, party favor containers, gift boxes, tea, candy, markers and Crayons, craft supplies, cotton balls/qtips, marbles, action figures, Barbie accessories, Nerf gun bullets, planters for little plants....you name it!

 {What do you need?}
Plastic powdered drink containers
Coordinating papers
Glue
Embellishments
Ribbon (If making into baskets with handles)

Tip: Cut the wrapper off and use as template to cut paper to go around container.

Have fun and decorate!

Decorated Drink Holder & Linky Party # 7

My Linky party is a little delayed this week.  We spent my 41st Birthday yesterday with my parents in Arkansas and we have been busy!  So here is my late party!

What is this?  It's a cardboard drink holder.  This one in particular was from a 6 pack of beer but you can get different shapes and sizes.  Coffee shops have cool ones too.

I loved this project and it is so simple and you are recycling.  Just pick your coordinating papers and embellishments and a ruler.  Measure each side and cover it with paper.

What can it be used for?
~Pen holder
~Vase for Flowers (put cups or vases in each holder area
~To hold a present
~Kids crayons and markers (use plastic disposable cups)
~Picnics and Parties to hold silverware and napkins
~Craft rooms (scissors, pens, glue)
~Hair accessories (use plastic disposable cups)
~Kids gardens (place little pots in each holder area)
