Tool Time Tuesday...Recycled Six Pack

It's Tool Time Tuesday again. The place where we always think outside the box...a box of bottles actually. This is a box carrier from a four pack of root beer, but a six pack of whatever would work great too. It would hold more!

A little side note about this week's Tool Time. I found this root beer carrier on my desk in my sewing room with a little note attached. The note said..."Tool Time idea?"  The note was from my daughter Kelsie. I guess the "save the trash disease" is spreading in our house. Thanks Kelsie for leaving me some inspiration to think about!!

The carrier is great. It's small, light weight and has a handle...



and has 4 or 6 compartments to hold lots of things.




Now to make it pretty...paint it, glue on fabric or scrap booking paper.


I went for the speedy dry paint idea! I did this an hour before leaving for work Monday morning. If you plan this correctly, you can coordinate the color or design to match any occasion!!


Now for the ideas...

Picnic utensils


Condiment carrier...ketchup, mustard, relish, hot sauce, bbq sauce etc...


A place to hold all your glues...


Office supplies...


Mini toolbox...


Hot glue gun supply carrier...


Scissors and rotary cutters...


Remote control caddy...


I'm sure there are so many more ideas for these. If you can think of any, share them in the comments. We always love to hear from you!!

Remember...save a lot of these and then decorate them to the occasion.
  • Birthday parties...each guest gets one filled with party favors and candy
  • Fourth of July party...each guest gets one filled with their own picnic utensils, napkin and a package of sparklers
  • Valentine's Day...each compartment filled with a tall thin goody bag of candies and love notes
 Have fun with them...they're easy to work with and they're FREE!

Happy Tuesday,
~Karen~
