It’s Monday!!
You know what that means…. I’m back and linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made-it!!
I hope it’s okay that I whipped up this little graphic 🙂
Since I am moving classrooms this year I wanted something fresh! I think I have decided to go with turquoise as the main color scheme throughout the room!
{of course with a little leopard print mixed in and some bright colors that match with turquoise}
I have been on Pinterest a little more than lately searching for ideas and inspiration and I found the most adorable idea using coffee cans!
Now I am not a coffee drinker. At all. I could smell it all.day.long and be just as happy!
So…. I called my dad…. who drinks enough coffee for the whole family and it just so happened that he saves ALL of his coffee tubs! {Lucky me!}
I went back to Wal Mart and grabbed a few more cans of paint (to match my Anchor Chart storage buckets from last week!) and some more chalkboard labels!
This is where I began:
I headed back to the front porch with some paper {although I may or may not have got a little turquoise on the porch this time}
I put all of the cans upside down {with the lids off} and went to painting!
I did the lids in black to offset the light color!
After they completed drying, I put a few together and added my labels!
I have not labeled all of the buckets yet because I want to get into my classroom and see just exactly what I need!
So far, I have glue sticks, pencils, and crayons!
Here is just a close up the chalkboard label – they are so simple to use {just write, peel, and stick!}
You do not have to use coffee tubs {I know it can take a while to collect a few!} so you can always use the Tupperware bowls or containers that you can also find a Wal Mart!
Are you busying creating and making something this summer?! {School or Personal}
Be sure to head on over to 4th Grade Frolics and link up to share with us!!
Also…. don’t forget….
Tomorrow is….
DOLLAR * DEAL * TUESDAY!!!!!!
(and there may be a *few* products included!!)
Have a great week!!!
Love those colors!
These are so cute! And the possibilities are endless of what you could put in them. Maybe I need to start buying bigger coffee canisters or finding someone like your dad who drinks lots of coffee!!

Those are absolutely.too.cute! I love the color contrast, and as Sara said, you can store literally anything in them! Great cost effective storage solution that will match your decor! 🙂

I love those!!! My classroom is all turquoise and green and I'm always looking for ways to store things. I may need to make a trip to Home Depot for some spray paint. 🙂
Great project!!! Great colors!!! Great recycle project!!! I'm always looking for ways to reuse items. Thanks for sharing!
