Easy Coffee Can Lint Bin DIY
In this post, I'll show you how to make an easy and inexpensive lint bin from a plastic coffee can. This is a great way to recycle those used coffee cans and keep your home clean and organized at the same time.
Materials
- Old plastic coffee can
- Spray paint or chalk paint in the color white
- Black acrylic paint
- black chalk paste
- "LINT" stencil
- squeegee
- glass knob
- buffalo check vinyl
- scissors
- magnets
- hot glue
Instructions
- Empty the coffee can container of its coffee grounds into a gallon-size Ziploc baggie.
- Spray paint or chalk paint the coffee can container and the lid to match.
- Stencil on the "LINT" wording using the squeegee and the chalk paste.
- Trace the lid out onto the Crafter's Square buffalo check vinyl and cut out using scissors. Stick it to the top of the coffee can lid.
- Poke a hole into the top of the lid and thread the glass knob through the top.
- Using an artist brush add black acrylic paint to the lints of the coffee can to mimic the look of enamel. Let dry completely.
- Hot glue two magnets onto the side of the plastic coffee can so that it will stick to the side of the dryer.
