DIY Laundry Trash Can #SnuggleUpMoments #CollectiveBias

My family loves to snuggle. Every day we find time to hang out on the couch and snuggle under blankets as we watch TV together. My kids love it when we snuggle under blankets because they smell so good and they are extra soft.  I aways make sure I use Snuggle® Ultra Blue Sparkle fabric conditioner to make our blankets softer so we can cuddle longer!

If your life is anything like mine – you do a lot of laundry. So I make sure to pick up my supplies at Sam’s Club. During my last trip, I discovered blue iris bliss® Snuggle Scent Boosters®. I always have Snuggle® Ultra Blue Sparkle fabric conditioner in my laundry room and I love the benefits of combining these two products when I do laundry.

The Snuggle® Ultra Blue Sparkle fabric conditioner provides  Snuggly Softness® and freshness for 30 days. That means more snuggle time before I need to wash them again.

When I include Snuggle Scent Boosters® it adds to the amazing mood-boosting freshness ~Little Pac, Big Snifference™! My whole house smells so fresh and clean when I am doing laundry!

The Snuggle Scent Boosters® are really easy to add to your laundry routine –  loosely pack clothing in the washer when using Snuggle Scent Boosters to make sure all the blankets and clothes receive a long-lasting scent boost!

Then add the fabric conditioner to the dispenser and enjoy the scent! (Make sure you follow the directions for use on the packaging exactly, and not to overuse the products by putting too much product in one load.)

snuggle fix

We just moved into a new house – so the walls are pretty boring. I wanted to add some color to my laundry room and get rid of the ugly trash can in between the washer and dry that holds the lint.

I stumbled across a brochure holder that realtors use to put flyers in on front lawns. It was perfect because it had a flip-top lid. I found some spray paint that could be used on plastic and my sister in law makes vinyl letters and signs, so she sent me “LINT” to add it to the new garbage can.

I am not very crafty, so if I can do this project, you can do it too! It adds so much color to the room and I don’t have to look at the lint.

In a well-ventilated area (like outside) lay down some newspaper or use a large cardboard box. Spray paint the front and let it dry for about an hour and then paint the back and sides.  Then let it dry overnight.

Finally, you get to hang it in your laundry room! There are a few ways you can hang this depending on the back of your container. Mine had a space for 2 screws so I added the zip tip to the holes and used a hook to secure it. Or if it has a flat back you can get double-sided velcro to hang it. You want it to be easy to remove so you can dump the trash out.

This is the perfect time of the year to put the lint to good use also. I put it in mesh bags and hang from a few branches in my yard for the birds to use as nesting material, also when you clean the hair out of the hair brush put in in with the lint as long as it (hair) isn't to long. If it is long I cut it a little. So it won't get raped around the birds legs. They will love you and you will have lots of different birds coming to get building materials from your supplies!!

I love the spray painting in the box trick! Your lint holder turned out great, and I especially like how low profile it is on the wall! #client
