Thinking Green with a little Theme ... Recycling Craft

Recycling has never been so fun....I'm learning to recycle and put old things to use.  Our home is under contract and I'm going through some things packing and getting rid of the old (unless I can reuse).  At any rate, I found an old book, romantic novel of sorts and while sipping on my protein shake and reminiscing on the DIY projects posted on Pinterest that day......Recycling that old protein bucket that I took the last scoop from today was on my To-Do list for sure. 

So I cleaned the bucket out and got to work.  I took pages from the old romantic novel I found and Mod Podge'd my way around the bucket.  I also cut out words from the novel or words from a newspaper like "girl power", "beautiful" or anything that caught my eye. 

The print on the lid of the bucket was found on the best sight ever!!!!  The Graphics Fairy the print is found here:  http://thegraphicsfairy.com/gorgeous-vintage-paris-label/ 

The dry flower on the lid was one my daughter Brooke picked out for me earlier this summer.

Away I went Mod Podge'ing and this was the end result .............Now, I just hope my daughters don't look to close at the pages of the novel, I realized later how steamy this romantic novel was.  lol

I'm not done just yet thou, I want to glue a string of pearls around the top of the lid.  I'll update when I do.

Next I Mod Podge'd the lid to an old box, once a centerpiece at a baby shower I went to, and used an old antique frame to give it a little Umph!
