DIY Folgers coffee can reuse and pantry facelift

I was very blessed by our neighbor Kathy before we left Michigan by her giving me her extra Folgers plastic coffee cans.  I used them to transport my 3 month food supply that I was taking with me to North Carolina.  That way all my bagged items would not burst during the transit.  Well they got a facelift since being here.

I found some paper that someone was throwing away at our church garage sale and I decided to reuse it.  My husband had clear contact paper and so this project cost me zero dollars to do.  I like those kind.IMG_20150420_150909

The paper worked out nicely, because it was Christmas oriented but it matched the cans perfectly.  I cut a strip that would cover the can and then cut a strip of contact paper to cover the paperIMG_20150420_150913

These were my old, sad labels.  IMG_20150420_150926

Now my cans are all uniform and that makes for a more organized pantry.IMG_20150420_153403

I put label stickers with the contents on them.  If I need to change them, they tear off easily.IMG_20150420_153410

I also decided to do that with my ice cream buckets that store our dried beans.  IMG_20150420_163319

Then my plastic gallon containers that coconut oil came in.  This made everything look much neater.

Here is a short video of how it looks all together.
