At Home with Painted Paper

Follow my blog with Bloglovin


Do you have items lying around your house and you just don't want to throw them away? 
I know, you are going to say "recycle them"… 
Well that is my problem. I can't even throw items into the recycling bin! I mean I have a problem right? 
So, while I was organizing my new art studio at home 
(hence the blog post At Home with Painted Paper)
I stumbled across some tins.


These awesome Tazo tea bins are from my favorite tea "Joy". They were just calling to have a beautiful new design on them. 


While at my local Target I snagged up their fun patterned duct tape. It was a perfect fit for my tea bins to create some awesome storage containers for colored pencils and paint brushes.



Details are pretty easy:

Take the duct tape and start in the back at the corner of the tin. Wrap the duct tape slowly and continue around the tin until you overlap the edge of the tape where you started. 
It took 2 strips to cover the tin.



When done adding the tape you will have some awesome storage!

Supplies Needed:
Tins
Duct tape
Scissors
A cup of hot tea





What trash will you recycle into an awesome item to be 
used around the house?  
Don't forgot to follow Painted Paper on 

Keep on creating!
