Crafty Catz Challenge #244: Recycle It

Happy Friday!  It's time for another great challenge on the Crafty Catz blog.  This time our theme is recycle it.  So, grab something you would normally recycle and make something fabulous with it :-)  Easy enough, right?!!

Our sponsor this time is:  Fred She Said.

I've used a recycled plastic coffee container.  It is green so I had to go with a Christmas theme.  It just made too much sense not to :-)  I'm planning on filling it with homemade Almond toffee that I usually make during the holidays.  It will be a gift for one of my kiddos' teachers before Christmas break.


Recipe:
Folgers plastic coffee can
The Paper Studio- It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year stack - all patterned papers
Dec 25th Cricut cart - frame @ 3 1/2", snowflake 5 @2 1/2", snowflake @ 1 3/4", snowflake 3 @ 1 3/4"
Diamond Stickles
pop dots
red bling
Red/white Trendy Twine
Green/white Sew Easy floss -wintergreen

Thanks for stopping by today!  Come play along with us at Crafty Catz!

    An awesome upcycle project. Love the Christmas theme and the chalkboard with the wording on it. There is one lucky teacher out there.

    This is such a great idea! I suddenly have a craving for Christmas chocolate coffee cookies! At least, that's what I imagine I would put inside your gorgeous container. lol :)
