Don't Throw It Away!

• Storage places for nails, screws, and small tools (write contents on plastic lid).
• Outdoor citronella candles. Place candle in can and light. When not in use, let candle cool then top with plastic lid.
• Baking pans. Bake breads (pumpkin, banana, etc.) in can. Good size and if you decorate the can, it can serve as a great gift.
• Fundraisers. Decorate empty coffee cans and fill with cookies/brownies. Sell at bake sales and other fund-raising events.

• Empty spice jars that have perforated inner lids can be reused for your own cinnamon and sugar mixture; cornstarch or flour for making gravy; or dispensing sprinkles.
  

• Great jars for homemade salad dressings, homemade mustards, and homemade candy. The fancier they are the better.

• Good food keepers, especially in the refrigerator. Make it easy to see what’s in there!

• Wrap your holiday lights around empty tubes. Prevents tangling—easy storage.

• Use to store tongs in drawers. Keeps tongs closed, so they take up less room.

• Store sugar. Easy to pour and sugar won’t lump.

• Fill with rice, small pasta, dried beans, used lemons (yes, used lemons).

• Save partly used lemons, put them in your dishwater. They make the water, dishes and your hands smell good. Also cut grease.
