Idea board made with recycled cereal cans.

Mod Podge recycled idea board

Shelly from I Didn’t Sign Up For This makes me laugh when she says “I adore making things out of garbage.” So cute. Shelly does a fantastic job with garbage, as you can see from the idea board she repurposed above – adding recycled cereal cans she also refurbished as goodie containers that hang. I never would have thought of it myself, which is why I love Shelly and all of my readers. You are just that good! Visit Shelly here to learn more about her very fun project.

    I love this article as this is something I do too.

    I recently participated in two valentine’s day swaps and included mod podged made recycled items.

    I made desk organizers out of cans and empty food boxes like the ones microwave popcorn come in and wheat thins. I repurposed a tea box with mod podge and fabric and glitter paint. I also had an old find word puzzle book I found at the goodwill for like .59 and used some pages to make a bookmark.

    I took some pictures of the whole lots of items I made so there really aren’t too many single pictures of the mod podge recycled items but here are a few.

    There is the tea box in the corner covered inside and out with fabric, mod podge and a bit of gold gitter paint on the outside

    You can also see the bookmark in the bottom photo.

    Here is a three can desk organizer which was covered in fabric using mod podge

    And then there are the boxed desk organizers, one is a two compartment and the other a four compartment….these were made with some 4 for a dollar valentine themed treat bags I found at my local walgreens expect for the white flower paper which is wrapping paper. I covered the cans in mod podge then the paper as well as the boxs…..I think embellished them, one I even added legs to using some old beads I had.

    I am working on some more items like these for my shop. I have a whole cabinet full of empty cans and a bunch of empty food boxes just waiting to be transformed.

  8. That is great we have those cereal cans all over…mostly used as drums by the kids…but I always keep one or two because I just know there is a good use for them! Great project!

    I REALLY love this! The fabric is gorgeous, and a great idea for those cans (I’ve been trying to think of a new use for them…)
