Not that long ago, I posted on my Facebook page, “What can I repurpose a large coffee can into? Hmmmm…” Joann said a flower pot. Flomo said a centerpiece. Charlotte suggested baking apple bread in it! Such great ideas! After some thought, here are some ideas I came up with for repurposed coffee cans.
Craft Organization
You can use a coffee can
to store miscellaneous craft supplies in your craft closet. Use it upright or turn it on its side for multiple utility. This is what I ultimately ended up doing with it… for now. Note my repurposed spice rack and mason jars in the picture too… tee hee.
Flower Pot
Thank you, Joann!!!
Gift Wrapping
Use a coffee can as a clever way to wrap a house warming gift of kitchen supplies. Also consider painting it or wrapping it with gift wrapping paper or decorative scrapbook paper. Embellish it with ribbon and make a personalized gift tag.
Guest Room Necessities
Use it to store necessities for any visitors staying in your guest room to make them feel more welcome. Fill it with magazines, travel guides, maps, towels, shampoo, soap, q-tips, cotton, candies, or razors. By the way, check out my Scrabble art work tutorial if you’d like!

That guest room container is a great repurposing idea!
Thanks, Lissa!
Great ideas. To help organise further you could use custom mini wall stickers as labels. You can get them made to order with your choice of wording or as chalkboard labels for you to write on with chalk or chalk pens.
