I can never bring myself to throw away a perfectly sturdy container, especially when I know a bit of glitter and silver paint can completely change its vibe. Today, we are grabbing three common household items—a Lysol container, a Pringles can, and a honey jar—and upscaling them into a matching set of glam table decor that looks like a designer find. These storage containers are as practical as they are beautiful, providing a unique way to store plastic bags or kitchen tools while adding some elegance to your countertops.

💡 Sandy’s Favorite Crafting Tips & Hacks
-
The “Glitter-Paint” Texture: When you are painting smooth surfaces like the honey jar, try mixing a bit of silver glitter directly into your metallic paint. This doesn’t just add sparkle; it creates a beautiful, gritty texture that masks the plastic look and gives the piece a professional, ceramic-like finish.
-
Flush Finials: To make a Christmas ornament ball sit perfectly as a lid handle, use scissors or wire cutters to snip off the hanging neck/top. This creates a flat surface so your “crystal” finial bonds flush and secure to the container lid.
-
Glue Management: When working with silver ribbon and gem stickers, remember to apply your hot glue sparingly. This prevents unsightly clumping around the edges and ensures your decorative borders look clean and high-end.
-
Zero-Waste Repurposing: I love finding specific uses for my upcycled containers! The Lysol container is the perfect size for hiding away plastic grocery bags, while the Pringles can is a great height for keeping chopsticks organized on your counter.
Instructions
Project 1: The Glam Plastic Bag Dispenser (Lysol Container Upcycle)
-
Wrap the Base: Measure and cut a sheet of silver glitter contact paper to fit the circumference of your clean Lysol container. Peel and stick it firmly to the surface.
-
Border and Bling: Use hot glue to apply a silver ribbon along the bottom edge of the container. Add three rows of clear gem stickers vertically along the body, spacing them out evenly for a balanced look.
-
Finish the Lid: Adhere glitter ribbon around the outer rim of the lid. To create the handle, glue a small silver ornament ball to the top center.
Project 2: The Designer Chopstick Holder (Pringles Container Upcycle)
-
Apply the Facade: Cover the exterior of the empty Pringles container with glitter contact paper.
-
Add Architectural Detail: Use glue to line both the top and bottom edges with glitter ribbon. Adhere silver plastic decorative picks vertically around the container to add texture and height.
-
Refine the Topper: Snip the neck off a silver ornament ball and glue it to the center of the lid. Frame the base of the ball with a small string of silver beaded necklace to hide the joint.
Project 3: The Textured Metallic Vase (Honey Jar Upcycle)
-
Paint the Vessel: Mix silver and gold metallic paint with a shot of silver glitter. Apply this mixture to the exterior of the honey jar and let it dry completely to reveal the custom texture.
-
Build the Neck: Use hot glue to affix a silver napkin ring to the top opening of the jar. Frame the bottom of the napkin ring with a string of silver beaded necklace for a seamless transition.
-
Final Embellishment: Glue silver plastic picks vertically around the jar, spacing them evenly to complete your new glam vase.
