Turning Caffeine Into Organization by KimberlyClaire

My latest project came from buying an espresso machine (which will be in a future blog, stay tuned). The pods or "capsules" as they are called, come in these cute little tins. The capsules aren't cheap, so after finishing off the first tin, I began to throw it away when I noticed how perfect it would be to store things in. Of course I wanted to decorate it, catering to what I would use it for. The pictures say it all. What I ended up with was an adorable little canister that can be used to store anything you want. I put this one in my laundry room to store safety pins, buttons and scissors that I always seem to need. Now that I will be ordering more of these tins, I'll be decorating and coming up with more ideas on ways to recycle and refurbish them. You don't have to use coffee tins either, any tin or can works just fine. Make it your own. -KimberlyClaire
