I've wanted to use canisters of some sort for my detergent...but not wanted to spend much on it. Today as I walked by my DH's muscle building powders etc. I had a fabulous thought! These big things would be perfect for my detergent...for F.R.E.E.!!!
I took the label off...let it soak in warm, soapy water and then used a spoon to scrape the glue-gunk off!
As it dried, I gathered my crafting-goodies. I printed my label {image taken from Shabby Blogs} on photo-quality ink jet paper..found coordinating ribbon and dusted off my Modge Podge.
I cut out my label, modged it to the canister, let it dry and hot glued the ribbon around the top and.....
VOILA!!! Easie Peasie!!!
AwEsOme-TasTiC!!!
It would be beneficial to take your time when hot-gluing the ribbon. I was so excited about my "new" canister...I didn't notice I had glued it a "tad" crooked until I took these pictures!

cute canister! I love that you re-used something that was going to go in the trash, probably!
good idea.
Cute idea! My hubby has a big jar of protein powder that he's almost done with & I'm making some homemade "dry" laundry soap...this will be perfect to store it in.
Thanks for sharing!

I love this project! I have about a million pickle jars (plastic) I didn't want to throw away. I made some sugar canisters with the glass ones, but I just couldn't find anything to do with the others, and now I know. ;o) Thanks for sharing!
What a fabulous idea! I don't care what you say..the ribbon looks great!!
Thanks for linking up to Saturday is Crafty Day. I hope to see you back next week!
This is so cute, what a cute, simple project. Thanks for sharing!
i love this! I will be featuring it tomorrow! so cute!
I have been wanting to make my own laundry detergent and was wondering what I could store it in when I did. This is a great solution. I have a friend who owns a deli. I wonder if I could squirrel a good container from her.
Great job. Great reuse. Great post.
What a fabulous idea! My husband has these too...and to think I was just about to go out and buy a huge glass container for my laundry soap! Thank you for the idea!
