Recycled bread crumb container!!

Okay, so lately I have been trying to find ways to recycle some of the items we have in our home, rather than sending them to the landfill. A while back, I made this candle holder. Since then, I have decided to use it to hold cotton balls on my bathroom counter. I wanted something that looked similar, but a little smaller to hold q-tips.

I had this bread crumb container in the cabinet, so I decided to use it as the base for my q-tip holder. I spray painted it brown, and once that was dry, I brushed on a little black and blotted it off. Once all of the paint was dry, I hot glued the glass onto the top.

I like the way it turned out, and that is one less piece of trash from our house. Have you found a creative way to recycle something?
