This cutie came to be when I had an empty can of powdered milk I didn’t wanna throw away. Even though my habits aren’t ideal, I do worry a lot about the amount of garbage we produce, so I’ve been saving certain objects and packages to try and come up with ways to give them new life, and this is one of them. Someone might ask “But if you don’t throw things away anymore, where are we gonna fit all that stuff?”, to what I can only reply: “Exactly”. So this is, in a way, a cozy for a can, and the final product is reminiscent of a cookie jar, and I love that.
