DIY decorated garbage “Trash is gold” (ikea hack)

Diy decorated garbage "trash is gold" ikea hack

A little slogan on my garbage bin (it’s actually my recycling bin), to remind me to recycle, reuse and try more and more to tend towards zero-waste lifestyle so that most of the things I buy (and I try to buy less) go in this bin (ideally in no bin!)

I know the spray paint is not a step in the right direction but I already had it so I used it. I am looking for more eco-friendly options!

anyways I spray painted my garbage can and it looks pretty cool!

You also get a first look at our new “window breakfast” area!

2. Place them on your garbage can and use the plastic bags to protect around the letters

Let everything dry and remove slowly. If some places leaked you can remove the paint with nail polish remover and a q-tip!
