Too cute, great idea!

this is just to cute I don't save mine as I have no place to put them but I do hate to throw them away this would be a nice idea for Christmas gifts full of cookies.

This is great idea

Very nice. My brother use to use the metal ones to make storage for toilet paper rolls. He stacked 2-3 together, used hot glue the join them and cover with terry towels. Used a can opener to remove the top and bottom from all except the bottom one. One of the cut out lids he covered with a matching wash cloth and tied together with ribbon. He used lace and ribbon to decorate. You could combine this with the embroidery. As I did not use that much ground coffee I never tried one. However, I still have two he made me plus he made a taller one for me to keep that awful plungger out of site. Since he died just over a year ago they are very special now!

Why don't you let us know just how you did this and some mesurments would be nice what I would like to know is how you got it to fit so nicely arounf the top.

great idea!! I can't throw mine away either. Please share instructions with us. How did you attach the handles? I have a bunch in the garage. Maxwell House coffee has a built in side handle. How could he use them also? I think I like the doggie treats idea or maybe crayons and felt pens, Lego's or Barbie stuff!!!

Thank You for your wonderful idea. I save my coffee cans too. Can't wait to make some of these up for gifts. The ideas are endless.

great idea

My goodness, I have a lot of these that I just can't discard. Great idea.

LOVE YOUR IDEAL I AM GOING TO MAKE THEM AS EASTER BASKETS FOR THE GRANDKIDS NEXT YEAR AND MAYBE A FEW FOR SOME OF THE PARENTS THEY LOOK GREAT THANKS

TOO COOL I SEE THAT YOU HAVE SET OFF SOME OTHER INSPIRATIONS! THANKS I LIKE THEM TOO!

This is a wonderful idea. For those of you who are interested. Folgers has a site where you can make stickers to cover the cans... really cute and you can personalize them. But unlike this beautiful one, they don't have handles. Thanks for sharing.
Here is Folgers link..

My former boss's dog was having puppies, so I made a treats container out of one of these to go with the 8 little receiving blankets I made also. Great way to repurpose!

That is great thanks for sharing.

Very clever. Beautiful!

Now if I could just get one away from my husband. He takes them to his workshop and I never see them again. My GKs would love this. Thanks

My husband gets the Folgers cans, I get the ice cream pails, lol! So I would make mine to fit the pails.

Just an Idea, Do you think beings the lid snaps on that you could put one handle on like a coffee cup? Cute Idea, was in my basement the other day wondering what I was going to do with them.

wunderschöne idee
