Homemade Yarntainers

Homemade what?

Yarn-Tainers.

If you aren't a crocheter/knitter, you can skip this post...

Sunshine loves to work with yarn. I guess I should have nicknamed her Kitten. She is never so happy as when she is knitting away. She loves to make baby hats and dishcloths. She also has a bad habit of starting a new project without finishing the old one. Wonder where she gets that from? Tee hee!

Anyway, we gave her one of these fabulous little containers for Christmas and quickly realized that we would have to invest quite a bit in too many of these to satisfy her many inspirations. What was that? Tell her she can't start a new project until she finishes an old one? Yeah. That'd be the pot calling the kettle black.

So I came up with this idea. Some pretty paper, tape and glue turned an old oatmeal container into a homemade yarntainer.

They aren't see-through, but they do the job. My only tip would be to cut the hole in your paper smaller than the hole in the oatmeal top. Then place some tape to help the paper insert stick to the top until the glue dries. And if your paper doesn't fit the top perfectly, fill in the gap with some glitter glue.
