After I made the SIMPLE laundry detergent... I realized I didn't have anything fun to put it in. I could have just thrown it into my (almost)empty detergent box, but that's just too boring. So I got out an empty coffee can instead :)
I got out my trusty chalkboard paint and went to work. Any time I can use chalkboard paint, I do. I'm sure you could use any number of things to cover the can... mod podge some scrapbook paper, or fabric! Add some ribbon... which I may still do to my can :)
I painted the lid with acrylic paint and added ribbon to the edge. A few more coats of chalk paint and it's ready to go!
Ta-Da!
Now add the detergent:

How awesome that there is a powdered version of this detergent. Is it safe for HE washers?
ReplyDeleteI used to be able to get HE Purex for $2.50 with coupons and sales, but the lowest I can find now is $4.00 for only 32 loads! It really adds up fast.
Oh and I love your detergent canister! It's adorable!
Hey! Everything I've read says that it's fine to use in HE washers! Maybe try a little at first and see how it goes?
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks!
Thanks for the shoutout! And I love your canister. My detergent is in a boring plastic container. I might just have to make something cute for it.
