Creating beauty everywhere

We have a motto around here, REDUCE- REUSE- RECYCLE, not because we are overly environmental, (although we try to do our bit for the planet) but because a FISHER PRICE LITTLE PEOPLE DVD told us that was a good thing to do. Hey go figure, as a parent you can say lots of things over and over again, to no one in particular, but if its on telly it must be true. Fortunately for me, I'm not going to argue with this one.

So in keeping with our motto, I'm am trying to come up with ways to reduce our waste. My particular focus at the moment is our baby formula tins. We go through about one a week and it adds up. So what to do???



This is a baby formula tin.



Since I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING so much, I copied the idea from a blog I found one night at 3am and turned the humble Baby formula tin into this....



Now you can display your transformed Baby formula tin and store all sorts of goodies in it. I used mine to wrap a present for the little girl next door. Be creative!

  1. Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog!!! I was so happy when I read all your comments. I'm sure glass mosaic tiles will work well, as long as they're transparent. Alternatively you can just cut up a coloured plastic sheet [from a divider or pocket] and use that instead. I'd love to hear more about your homeschooling experience!
