Make your own DIY Christmas Gift using an old container. It will be the perfect Christmas gift as it will add lots of sparkle to any corner and will keep little treasures inside.
You know I’m a huge fan of recycling everything that falls into my hands, right? What you might don’t know is that I have two precious daughters with a lovely curly hair. But curly hair is not so lovely when you have to comb it and untangle it!
It was a nightmare until we found the solution, and it was applying some hair mask while in the shower. I have lots of empty containers of it, so I just stored them until I had an idea.
This is how they looked like
I painted it with the diy chalk paint so the glue would adhere properly. While it was drying I printed some music paper and cut it to fit. Then I glued it to the bottom part of the container and applied a good amount of glue to the top part and some glitter.
I let it dry and then after two coats of spray varnish it was done!
Love the sparkle!!
It was made in less than an hour… besides looking so cute, it’s great because you can make some in no time.
I would love to receive one as a gift, but what about you? Would you like to receive one?

Pili, this repurposed container is lovely!!! What a great way to reuse all those containers!! The glitter is an awesome way to cover the lid, and I love the sheet music sides!! I know I would love a box like this!! 🙂
Keri, we have plenty of those containers so I think we’ll be busy making some for this Christmas. The girls will be in charge of the glitter
I love sparkly and this is just beautiful! Such a great idea for a unique gift.
Thank you Stella, sparkly make everything better!
Very nice idea! I have so many of those containers, my girls also need mascarillas for their hair and it isn’t even curly….Glitter is always a good idea, right? I think they would be great for bracelets, ear rings and those sort of gifts!!! Love them!
Hi, Katrin!! Yes, these mascarillas do wonders!! I can’t imagine a life without them, each bath time would be a battle.
And you’re right, that kink of jewelry would fit in perfectly!
This is a clever idea, I love the music for wrapping. I can imagine other great uses recycling jars. Tanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas

Yes Karren, possibilities are endless when it is about recycling! I do love music sheet no matter where.
Thanks for visiting!
This is very cool! I always throw these out but now I won’t be! They can also double as decor since they will likely be found on my bathroom counter. Thank you for a neat, easy and beautiful upcycle. Blessings always, Misty.
Misty, you are always so kind! Now you can start saving those and make something for your own, there isn’t enough storage in a home.
Hugs,
Pili, I have the same exact containers. My daughter has curly hair too, and it is down to her waist. I just love what you have done with it. And I like that you applied chalk paint first. What a smart idea! Thanks for all your inspiration. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Hi, Mary!! Yes, it is better to apply chalk paint first because it makes it easier for the glue to stay, as it becomes a porous surface.
You can start saving them too, you’re the queen of up cycling!!
Oh my gosh…what a neat idea! SO cute!!

These are great gifts for kids to use to store their stuff and treasures. Me, I’d use one to store jewelry when I travel. Thanks for sharing your craft at the Over the Moon Link Party. Merry Christmas!
Hi, Sandy! My girls are using it to keep their rings, and they want another for the bracelets too.

These little tubs look so good once they’ve had a lick of paint, some glitter and some inspiration. Almost too good to give away!
