Patriotic Tin Cans {Utensil Caddy}

Happy Memorial Day!  Just a quick patriotic post for you today.  Don't you love red, white, and blue?  I love the timeless, classic look of this trio.


Here's the patriotic utensil caddy version of my DIY tin cans.  I make these cans for every holiday and occasion (click here to see my Valentine set, and here to see my desk set).  I love the fact that these are made from recycled cans, that I can put just about anything in them, and they can be transformed to fit every color scheme imaginable.  These really are so easy to make, and add the perfect, festive touch to any gathering.  Click here for my tips on making them.

One other tip on picking out your paper for your cans.  It may just be me, but I really like to buy my paper in colors, not themes.  Does that make sense?  There's a ton of patriotic paper out there, and I'll buy it once in awhile, but I really like to stick to the colors of each holiday and buy fun patterns in those colors.  I like that these cans are red, white, and blue, but not a single piece of paper is patriotic (infact, I think the red one is a Christmas paper).  I love the challenge and transformation that takes place when mixing all the fun papers, patterns, and ribbons.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.

  2. Love these! I really like that you didn't use patriotic paper - just stuck to the color scheme. (Hopping over from Give me the Goods).

  14. These are adorable! I like the idea of "colours not themes"-- themes can get a little cheese ball. Know what I'm saying? Thanks for sharing! :)

    1. I totally understand the cheesiness of themes. I used to be a big theme person, but lately I love basic colors. Thanks so much for stopping and commenting. I sure appreciate it. Have a wonderful day!

  17. “Abortion pill” is the common name for using two different medicines to end a pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol.

    First, you take a pill called mifepristone. Pregnancy needs a hormone called progesterone to grow normally. Mifepristone blocks your body’s own progesterone, stopping the pregnancy from growing. obat penggugur kandungan
