I try very hard to recycle what I can, when I can but first I try to upcycle them into something new. Sometimes I succeed and other times I just have fun trying. Either way at least I try and do my part to not through no longer usable items in the garbage. Have a look I think you are going to love some of these ideas.

Another great Coffee Can idea:
Bag Dispenser
It is always best to use reusable bags but when you cant seem to avoid getting those pesky plastic bags, you need somewhere to keep them so they don’t get thrown into the garbage.
Supplies
Coffee can
Paper or spray paint
Decorative items
Craft knife
Remove the lid of the coffee can and set aside.
Put glue on the outside of the can and let it sit a few minutes to get tacky
Apply the paper to the can and decorate how you would like
If you are using spray paint, on a covered work surface, spray the can evenly and allow the paint to dry overnight.
Flip the lid upside-down on a cutting surface and cut an X in the center of the lid about 2 inches big. Then cut slits from the center to make a star instead of an X
Close the lid and fill the can with bags by pushing them down through the cut star, leaving the last bag sticking out slightly.
Pull the bags through the top or add more by pushing them down through the top.
