So, i'm not go all Green, but i do agree with recycling alot! This is my cheap version of the paint pails. i am making alot for gifts to fill with lil goodies. The kids are helping making some to sell to help raise money for their homeschool feildtrips. These are just mayo jars and salsa jars. i spray painted the covers. We are working on tags to add to wrap ribbon or fibers around the tops and have the tags hanging.
