Crafting From Your Stockpile: Deodorant Cap Cheap Wall Decor

 I have another Crafting From Your Stockpile project ready to post – this time using deodorant container caps!

Some of you may recall the project I did making vases out of deodorant containers. Since I only used the bottom of the deodorant of the containers for that project, I had to come up with a creative use for the deodorant container caps.  They are the perfect shape for “petals” and I made a flower wall hanging out of them.

Materials I used:

-One round mirror (I had a bunch of these I used for my wedding center pieces back in the day)

-6 plastic caps from deodorant containers

-Some sort of stationary/scrapbook paper, wrapping paper, etc. that will be the color of the flower petals

-Soda bottle cap

-Hot Clue Gun

-Command Poster adhesive strips

I traced the deodorant caps on the stationary on the pattern I wanted. I simply just cut out the paper, and hot glued it onto the deodorant caps.  I did the same thing with the soda bottle cap – and used that as the center of the flower.

When all of the parts of the flower were made, I hot glued it all onto the mirror and made a flower out of it.  Warning: hot glue can be messy!  But here’s a great tip: I got some on the mirror where I didn’t want it.  I tried scraping it off with my figner nail and it just left a nasty smudge.  I then got some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel, and that took the smudge right off!!!

I hung it on the wall with a Command Poster Adhesive strip because there is no easy way to get a flat mirror to stick to the wall otherwise.  That and I don’t have to worry about another hole in my wall.

This now hangs in my dining room. I like my 3-D, cheap wall decor, that used deodorant that I got for free from couponing. When your deodorant gets used up, this is a great way to recycle the containers into something fun to put on your walls! I think I’d like it better if I had like 3 of these staggered on the wall with some different color. I need to start saving up my caps again so I can make some more. 🙂

Who else has a fun craft project involving an item you’ve gotten for free using coupons? I’d love to add some of your ideas here!  Send them my way for possible posting!
