How To Turn a Trash Can into a Recycling Bin
Fall, for some, marks the waning days of active DIY. With that, I think of this quick (impromptu) DIY I did this summer. In a post for friends Timothy & Laura Dahl (at BuiltbyKids.com), my six-year-old Eva and I turn out a new recycling bin.
You need: a trash can, some stenciling letters, masking tape, an old can of spray paint & a bungee cord. ... You need: About thirty minutes.
And you'll have: Fun!
But more importantly, it reminds me (to remind you) ... Get it While You Can!

Even a 6 year old can spray paint (with supervision)
After a little dry time, remove stenciling
