Awesome update #3

 Aren't these canisters cute?!  I used oatmeal containers and covered them with scrapbook paper and clear contact paper.  I use them every single day!  you can't see very well but the labels say things like flour, sugar, chocolate chips, rice, etc... I first made them when we didn't have a whole lot of cupboard space in our duplex and I still use them today in our house to free up space for my kitchen gadget obsession, another story for another day.

Well one day I got fancy!  I made a set of 4 of these for my sister for Christmas.  I LOVE them!! I wish I'd gotten a pic of the whole set.  They were so cute I almost didn't send them to here...but then again NOTHING in my house is zebra stripped :)

Wrapping paper and clear contact paper is even easier than scrapbook paper! I spray painted the lids with two coats of spray paint.  Add a cute little ribbon for some flare and you're good to go.  I have all the stuff to do a bunch for my kitchen and it's even cut and ready to go I just have to DO IT...one day...

These aren't just for kitchens, you can use them all over the house.

• They are great for keeping hair accessories together in the bathroom.  Headbands even fit great around the outside.
• Toilet Paper rolls fit great in them
• keep little sets of kids toys together (I probably wouldn't use my fancy ones for this but my kids keep army guys, angry bird games, and my daughters little dolls and accessories in them in their rooms.

The possibilities are endless...what would you put in them?
