Up cycling an old gum container

I really do not like to waste things that I know I can reuse some how, so I was brainstorming what could I do?

My ideas on the spot were a cough drop container, or a tissue container. 

(If you have any other ideas please comment!)

Things you'll need:

• gum container

• paper

• scissors

• stickers (optional) 

• cough drops

• tissues

Super easy! You just take out the logo from the plastic container and you can trace the pattern on the paper of your choice. Or you could do what I did and just cut around the logo.

Stick the tissues in (fits about half a pack). 

I added stickers for fun.  

For the cough drops you can follow the instructions above and just put cough drops in instead (or actual candy). 

 I also added a cover to this one. 

I just cut it the length of the container and estimated the width and then folded it just a little so it can sit in there nicely. 

I also think this project is fun because cough drops do not come in cute packages like tissues do.
