Happy Friday: Re-purposed Puffs Containers
Sent from reader, Mary:
We go through a ton of puffs containers at my house. Over the summer, I always felt bad throwing them away and decided to save them for holiday treat containers. For only a few dollars, I picked up some craft supplies and spent the morning turning them into snowmen with my 1 1/2 and 3 year old.
Now we have festive containers to fill with caramel corn, Chex mix, or other goodies as we visit friends and family this holiday season. What a great and frugal gift my little ones can share with others.
HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

That is fantastic! Well done!
Sooo cute!! Good for you!
How cute!! Good job, Mary and the little ones! 😉
Such a cute idea!
Adorable!!
So adorable. I have a container sitting on my kitchen counter that I was taking to recycling tomorrow. Thank you for the great project. I know what I am doing tomorrow during nap time.
This is a cute idea but you could also store other things in them. Some other things are small snacks or craft supplies.
👍
Very cute
Such a cool idea!!
So cute! I always felt bad throwing them out, but they are recyclable in my area.
Cutest idea ever. 10’s across the board ☺
adorable! what a great idea 🙂
Sometimes I wish these things had a “like” button.;)
So cute and sweet! Love it!
Fabulous idea! I, too, do not like adding to landfills if the item can not be recycled. Such creativity! And you are sending a message to your children that they can take something seemingly useless and make it useful. Hats off to you and your “crew.”
Thought it was puffs the tissues! Very cute project
Me too! Lol
Great idea! Merry Christmas!
Love this !!
Super cute!
That’s really cute and practical idea. My 10 month old eats puff and I love snow man. I will try this my home too.
Any ideas for Crystal Light canisters besides pencil holders? Have a TON of those bc I, too, hate throwing them out but am totally not creative. lol

I have a little one that will be one next week. But I have been saving his puff containers to make a bowling pins for him. So he can bowl at home.
Here is a link to check out. https://sometimescreative.blogspot.com/2010/01/recycled-bowling-pins.html?m=1
Great idea!!! Going to put my chocolate dipped pretzel rods in them!!! NO MORE TINS!!
So adorable!
Great idea!!
Those snowmen are so cute.
This is adorable!!
I think Coffeemate containers would create a similar result. Also POM juice containers might make cute Snowwomen as they are more shapely.
I think you can recycle those, so you don’t have to throw them away if you don’t do the craft.
Your idea is absolutely adorable, and the fact that both of your children participated is just really a wonderful thing to do. You are making memories and they are priceless!
And thanks to the rest of you for your ideas on other things. I, too, am usually not too creative myself, so the fact that I can just Google an item that I’m sure could be used for something is a wonderful idea. Love the way Collin shares and likewise how ideas are shared on her site as well. Hip2Save is the place 2B!!!
