Pen & Pencil holders ect...Recycle Project

Take some Free Triumph Posters
Some empty Coffee Creamer/Sugar containers
And some tape

I am constantly re-using items at work to hold things in a somewhat orderd clutter.
i started covering my creations with the leftover from stamps and stickers but it really was tacky and unproffessional so I decided to do something about it.

I used hite out around the edge but if I get really industrius, I may come back with t-shirt Slick paint and fill that in.


You can see the difference b/t the ones I have covered and the stickered covered ones.
Also, Here I used the corners that were originally used to protect a whipe board during shipping.
THe mistake I made was in not going ahead and removing them before attempting to cover the whole thin and then just reattach the corners.
if you look inward you can see the shadow of the two corners attached to the back for support and to keep the box from tipping the other way.

Decoty Creamer Project 1 -Step 6


Finally, I use 2 clear tack to mount it onto my wall and immediately fill it.

I would think that most people would want to cover or paint it to make it prettier.

My suggestion: Glitter and glow in the dark paint make everything better!

Decoty Creamer Project 1 -Step 1




I drew lines were I wanted to make my opening with a red marker and then I proceeded to punch a hole at each corner with a punch tool. I happened to use Matco Tools SP158A.

Decoty Creamer Project 1



So, here I am with a lot of empty containers from work that formally held non-dairy creamer. I have been cutting of the tops so that they hold paint brushes, pencils, pens, markers, ect....
But I decide to see if I could make something else.
So. I made them in to item holders by cutting into the cardboard on the side.

Recycling SHipping Labels


Where I work we get shipments that have labels on the invoices and the paper on top is thermal paper.
I use the sticker to label boxes cover up images or I print images on them for kids to color ect.....
I then use the left over piece that I remove the label from , I use about 10-15 of them and staple them to a piece of cardboard.
Now I have a disposable paint pallet.
