I absolutely love finding new uses for old things especially when I can reinvent something that is on it’s way to the junk yard or the recycle center.  As you can see in the photos above, this Minute Maid orange juice jug has served it’s original purpose of hydrating us and now as an adorable watering can it can continue it’s hydration with plants!  VOILA- love it 🙂  Plus I got to play with two of my favorite new “toys”… spray paint and duck tape!

ALL YOU NEED FOR YOUR WATERING CAN…

Kilz spray paint primer

Krylon spray paint for plastic

Duck tape

Exacto knife

Black permanent marker

Cutting board or quilter’s mat

Ruler (preferably metal or with metal sides)

AND NOW…HOW TO MAKE A WATERING CAN OUT OF AN ORANGE JUICE JUG…

Drink orange juice, enjoy all that vitamin C 🙂

DSCN1808

Using a permanent marker, draw a larger hole to cut on the top of the jug.

Notice how to cut front of jug so there is about an 1″ to 1 1/2″ lip where water will flow out nicely.

DSCN1809

 Using an exacto knife, carefully cut the top part of jug.

I gently poked the knife directly down into jug and then carefully made little sawing motions to cut along line.

Once top was cut a little more then 1/2 way around, I was able to use my kitchen scissors to cut the rest.

Carefully peel off the labels.

 In a well ventilated area, spray jug with one coat of Kilz primer.

 When primer is dry add two coats of Krylon’s spray paint for plastic letting each coat completely dry before adding another coat to the jug.

Cut two 4-5″ strips of duck tape and wrap around handle.

DSCN1846

Cut two 14″ strips of duck tape and fold over lengthwise leaving about 1/4″ of sticky side showing.

DSCN1847

Starting at handle, lay duck tape strip down along top making pleats as you go.

Like my yellow thumb? 🙂

DSCN1848

Cut small pieces of duck tape, approximately 1- 1 1/2″  squares and place them along edge of top taping down pleats and then folding over to inside of jug.

DSCN1850

Be sure to really press down the flaps of duck tape that fold down into the top of the jug.

DSCN1851

Cut two 3 1/2″  pieces of duct tape.

DSCN1852

Place the 2 pieces of duck tape sticky sides together.

DSCN1853

Fold duck tape making about 1/4″ accordion folds back and forth.

DSCN1855

Cut small 3/8″ wide piece of duck tape and wrap around middle of folded duck tape to create a bow.

DSCN1857

Take another 3/8″ strip of duck tape and adhere bow to top of handle, pressing it down around ruffle and around lip of opening.

DSCN1860

Cut a small contrasting 3/8″ piece of duck tape to place around the middle of bow.
