Car Trash Can
So my cars always seem to collect trash and then it seems to multiple overnight!
I decided to take action and keep a trash can in the car. That way I didn't put stuff down and forget in the craziness of getting the kids out to pick it back up.
Items Needed:
- Empty Cleaning Wipes Container
-Scraps of Fabric
-Mod Podge
-Sharp Cutting Tool
First you will need to take the label off your container and clean it inside and out.
Next measure your fabric.
(I like to just lay my container on the fabric and measure from there. Also remember to leave an overlap)
Use the Mod Podge on the area of the container that had the label stuck to it. From there apply about Mod Podge on about two inches and apply fabric ... Continue till you return to where you started.
(I like to put extra Mod Podge on the overlapped piece so that it stays a bit better.)
I wanted to make my cans look a bit fancy so I added a strip of a different color fabric to the bottom rim.
(This can also help hide any unevenness.)
With the lid you may (depending on brand and size) need to cut the wipe holding piece out.
(I used a razor tool.)
Lastly add a grocery bag and tie the handles around the can to keep them out of the way.
(I like to have an extra folded in the bottom of the can just in case)
Also here are a few ideas if you want to hang it on a sticky hook so that it doesn't roll away!
Happy Crafting,
