Although coffee is not the drink for me, there seems to be an endless supply of these containers available from my work. Instead of cluttering up the recycling bin with the empty containers, I thought about ways to make useful things out of them since the container itself does not look that bad. My last coffee container project, the Twine Holder, is working out fine in the garden. However, my wife is tired of these things sitting on the kitchen counter so we thought it would be nice to try something decorative vs. utilitarian for the next batch of containers.
First, my wife and I both grew up in South Carolina and went to the University of South Carolina - Go Gamecocks! Since our days of hanging out at the stadium before the big game are behind us, she thought making something for tailgating might be fun.
So we painted two of the coffee cans in Carolina colors. To share the love of all things South Carolina, we also decorated some of them for the Clemson fans.
Many of our friends and family somehow seem to love that tiger paw so we are sharing the love. It ain't all bad ya'll! Except in November, then its serious! (Sort of, anyway.)
Sooo...get ready to show some school spirit and make some coffee can tailgate containers!
