This fun little trashcan photo has been pinned all around Pinterest and I was so excited to see it…
I have been looking for a trashcan for my classroom and every time I start to buy one, I always put it back on the shelf. That is because I already have a trash can and really didn’t need another one. It was just that my trash can was old and plain…
So when I saw the idea for sprucing up my trash can, I was soooo excited. I guess I could have used paint, but I had these rolls of contact paper I bought from Staples for other projects, and decided to use them for making my polk-a-dots…
Using a few squares from the different colors of contact paper, I traced some circles using lids and cut them out…
Then I took the paper off the back of each circle and placed my dots on the front and top of the trash can…
Now I have the cutest trash can ever!! I have no idea how long the dots will stay on the trash can, but I know if they fall off – I can always replace them or go to plan B and paint on the dots…
So now, Instead of an old boring white trash can sitting under my cabinet – I have a fun polk-a-dot trash can!
That is very cute! Great idea! Easy as well!
It is really a great idea! It is really beautiful!
This is great. In fact it would make a fun craft idea for children to do for thier own rooms, especially if you are trying to get them excited about cleaning up a bit. : )
Yes it would!
Thank you so much for the idea, I love it!
You are welcome:)
ok so i totally did this in my room on Thursday but forgot to take a pic! I already had some fish shapes cut out so my two year olds and I glued fish onto our trash can. Then i cut out some green seaweed and put that on too. Then I modpodged it all so it would stay put. It was fun being creative. I SO wanna do another one!
Oh how cute Pam! I have been thinking of doing other scenes as well but haven’t had the time! You need to take some photos!
