Center Activities DIY Tubs

I had posted this idea on Pinterest a couple days ago...now I am finally getting to the part of sharing the labels with y'all.

Maybe you can use them for something!

I first spray painted my old Folgers coffee plastic containers and then made a pretty polka dot label for them. I use them in my Math Workshop for center storage.

Here is what the labels look like: [I have them made all the way to #12]



Please enjoy the lables, hopefully you can use them for something!

  3. I'm wondering what kind of spray paint you used that looks so nice on these containers. Did you do any prep work aside from washing with soapy water? They look great!

    Thanks for sharing,

    1. Hello Carmen,

      I am so sorry I wish I knew the actual name of the spray paint, I bought it at Lowes.It wasn't a "special" kind for anything in particular, I will try and get you more specific details the next time I stop by Lowes :) But all I did was wash then and then spray paint :) I had to put an extra coat on some spots due to the Folgers label peeking through, but that's about it :)

  4. Hi Valerie,
    Is there any way to get a copy of your Math Pencil Strategies chart? It's PERFECT! Is it available on TPT or will you be posting it on your site soon?

    1. Hello Mrs. Karen,

      I haven't decided to share it because it was inspired by a product on TpT. There are two other versions on TpT, I just don't feel right offering it for free when those ladies are trying to sell it. Take a look on TpT, if those aren't what you want, give me a holler again and I will see what I can do for you Karen. :)

  13. How did you get the "coffee" smell out? I have tried all kinds of stuff: soap and water, vinegar, baking soda, etc.

  14. Oh my gosh I have a bunch of these and had the same idea! Great minds think alike.

  15. I don't drink coffee but this gives me something to do with my old sugar containers!! They're made about the same so for jbmanos who asked about the coffee smell, if you have sugar containers you could use them. They don't smell after washing them. :) Thank you for such a cool idea!

  17. How has the spray paint held up? I am curious because painting anything plastic can be tough and result in flaking (because of plastic bendiness) so I am curious if they stayed nice-looking?
