Fabulous Folger's Coffee Plastic Container Upcycle
$10
4 Days
Easy
With some chalkboard labels from Michael's and a can of Krylon Paint these coffee containers become great organizers for crafts, sewing or as a reposit for rice, pasta, flour or sugar - especially when the person has difficulty with heavy canisters. I kept the insides carefully covered so they remained food-safe. Buy paint that is usable on plastic and follow directions - they must cure for 4-5 days!

Pretty great color, aren't they? Krylon!
We have so many of these as my husband does not care for the prices or "fru-fru" of Tenbucks, er Starbucks!
These are in the Bridal section of Michael's and are rather pricey at $8.99 but worth it.

Yes I will.

My husband uses the wonderful containers to marinade chicken or other meat. It holds many pounds and the good thing is being able to turn it over and it never leaks. Whenever I see the red container in frige, I know in a couple of days there will be some good eating!!
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Doesnt the paint chip off around the top from taking the lid on & off so much? I had used the paint for plastic on some outdoor furniture & let it cure, but it all flaked off. Hate to waste my money on paint if it's not going to work.
was wondering how you get the coffee smell out of it for other uses
Is there any other paint that I can use other than spray paint
