Upcycled Storage Containers

From this

to this


I made some metal flowers out of tuna can lids and put them in my storage vases


...after I filled my oatmeal contains with bottles of acrylic paints.

Pretty, yet functional storage!

I even made an Easter basket out of an oatmeal canister. Gave it away in an Easter swap. I hope she liked it.
