Looking for ideas to reuse those nice Maxwell House coffee containers. How can I cover up the label? Thanks and God bless.

I know it's not Christmas yet, but save the coffee canisters for homemade goodies. Here's a website to make your own labels:
I cut the top and bottom out og my coffee cans, then paint them, waterproof them (in auto section) poly them, and put them in my garden over flowers. It looks like a planter. If you cut top and bottoms off 3 cans, glue together, use contact paper to decorate-you have a toilet paper keeper.
I use the 33 ounce ones for compost buckets or easy to manage cleaning buckets, with a sponge. I use the smaller ones in my tool caddy to separate various tools...screwdrivers, wrenches and such. One smaller one holds my pens. They are so handy and we are blocked only by our imagination! God bless.
I had my children paint them, and then cut a hole in the front and then cut a slit for a twig and we have wonderful bird houses. We made some for our next door neighbor and the kids painted them with her in mind. We use craft projects for christmas presents from the children.
Krylon paints now makes spray paint for plastics, and I think it's GREAT. I've painted everything plastic with it, including flower pots, plastic lawn furniture, even the parts of my birdbath/fountain. It covers well and holds up to wear and tear as well as the elemants of nature, and comes in several colors.

You can cover the coffee container with a decorative shelf lining paper, a lot of them have an adhesive backing or look for wall paper with an adhesive backing. I use them to store flour, sugar, dry beans like Pinto, Navy, Northern and others. They are also good for dry food products like corn meal, cereal, pancake mix and a variety of other dry food products.
