I love these DIY Containers that you make with Recycled Coffee Creamer Containers for Pantry Organization. This a great way to recycle your coffee creamer containers. I fill them up with Cheerios and Goldfish crackers/pretzels and take them in the car when we go on road trips, sporting events, picnics or spending the day running errands around town. They are perfect for Goldfish crackers and helps them stay fresh and the crackers won’t get crumbled in the bag which is a huge plus for me 🙂
A tip to remove the smell from the creamer is to fill them with vinegar and soak over night in your sink. Another tip is to put in crumpled up newspaper and then wash. You could use these for storing food or other items like buttons, craft supplies or nuts and bolts. Regardless what use you will find this to keep you organized.
Another great tip to know is that you can FREEZE Coffee Creamer! Check out this post on how to freeze it!

January 29, 2013 at 10:21 pmI attempted to do this but could not get the coffee creamer smell out of the containers, even after washing them 3 times and letting them soak. Any tips?

2. Put on lid and shake for 15 seconds.
3. Empty and rinse. Smell will be gone.

February 23, 2014 at 12:42 pmI put lentils, rice, smaller pasta, etc. in them, rather than have open bags and boxes that bugs can get into. I made cute labels with directions on them, on the computer and they look great in the pantry!
