What to Do With Those Swiffer Containers?

Easy
I am not a big fan of the Swiffer, but my husband likes to use them. I know I can recycle the plastic container, but I found another use for it.
While organizing my bathroom, I needed a container to store all of my skin products. Unable to find the right basket, the Swiffer container caught my eye. Perfect size, just not very attractive. So I sprayed painted it.
After the paint dried, I tore pieces of paper a using Mod Podge, adhered them to the sides and around the bottom edges.
Now it holds my products. I usually keep it under the cabinet, but it looks good on the counter as well.

    I agree they can serve a multitude of purposes but wonder if anyone has done anything with their lids or lids from store bought containers?

    Oil of Olay facial towelets used to come in similar containers but smaller. I used them dresser drawers to keep pantyhose, socks, etc. separated. (yes I still occasionally wear pantyhose) LOL

      I like any container that is useful. I still wear pantyhose once in awhile myself.

    wiffer containers are great. I use them all over the house as, already paid for, organizers. I find they are a great size for inside dresser drawers, under counters, in my pantry, etc. I don't paint or decorate in any way. Without the label is fine with me.
