Ways to upcycle a gallon tea jug?

by Renee Bull

Answered

I know it can be used as a watering can, but does anyone have any good ideas for other ways to upcycle one of those jugs that Arizona iced tea comes in? They aren't recyclable in my area, so I'd like to figure out what to do with mine. Thanks!

Hmm do you have a pet? It could be cute to decoupage it and then use it as storage for their dry food making it easily pourable. (Just gave myself an idea to try for my kitties!)

I have seen ppl turn them until doll houses or fairy houses for gardens.

I love these jugs, too. They're so sturdy. I use them to store treated water for my aquarium. They pour easily without scaring my fish.

Thanks everyone! Great ideas! I do have a cat, and a semi-aquatic turtle, so I can definitely use the jugs for both of them. ( I just don't have a green thumb, @Halie Smith ...lol :) )
