Excuse me, I mean recyclables… So you know how I like everything pretty and organized? Well this is the prettiest and most organized trash bins I have ever seen…(I am sure many of you could challenge me on this one though!) Who knew garbage cans could be so photogenic? 
Go ahead and write, stencil, whatever you want on to the cover. I did mine with pencil. 
Cover with paint. I might as well have free-handed it…I practically did anyways…but I was nervous… And feel free to paint on the carpet in the living room…just don’t tell anyone as non-free-spirited-crafters would not understand. A wet rag cleans it up pretty quickly.
I am back from camp…have to unpack and dust the dirt off my whole body…
What do you do with your recyclables?
i guess I never thought of making my recycables look pretty,, you may be on to something.
ReplyDeleteOurs, from the city, are green, black & brown and I still never open the correct one! Too bad they won't us use your cute idea!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
I'm too busy trying to hide the cans to decorate them but this is a cute idea.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
We don't have a recycling place that comes to our street, so we just take our newspapers to the dump and they have a recycling spot for those. Love the paint job, Miss Trashy. ;)
ReplyDeleteI put mine on the kitchen counter and each evening my husband makes them disappear. :)
ReplyDeleteOur trash company doesn't do recycling in our neighborhood since there aren't enough customers :-(. So we just have one big trash.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I can't even organize the inside of my house. You are making me look bad! Lol! You are the most organized person I know. What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteOH! I LIKE! Those really are lovely~what a GREAT idea!!! Especially since I keep mine on the front porch for all to see.... (((((HUGS))))) sandi
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteYou are so organized. Mine go into red tubs. Hard to hide something big and red.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been around for a while so I caught up on your posts. Nice day with your Mom looks like fun to me. . .and by the way, you have the prettiest smile. You should smile often.

Love this! Maybe I could get my landlords to agree to let me paint on their bins... I always mix up which one's for trash and which ones for paper!
ReplyDeleteI haven't forgotten your feature, I swear!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paint did you use? I'd like to put my name on our garbage can...as someone stole our other one filled with garbage.
ReplyDeletegreat idea!
