Reuse Plastic Coffee Cans

Welcome to all new readers of "Keep It Simple, Folks".  I am so happy that you have visited and decided to stay awhile.

I don't often buy these large cans of coffee but when I do I must put it to some other use because it would be a shame to waste a sturdy, airtight container.  So, here are some suggestion for the reuse of the cans.
 
 
    as a perfect sized container for homemade baby and cleaning wipes

    for storing leftovers in the fridge and freezer

    for storing everything from paint to homemade cleaning products

    as canisters

    as mixing bowls
     
    as serving containers

    as storage for Legos or small cars

    as storage for crayons and pencils and chalk

    as storage for compost until it goes outside
These can be painted or wrapped with paper if you don't like brand names around your house. 

BEFORE USING: fill empty can with cold water and 1/4 cup vinegar and let sit overnight to remove coffee smell.

I hope you will get some use from the above.
 
Meanwhile .... keep it simple and make it real.
