Need an inexpensive but unique small waste paper basket? Reuse containers from plants or flowers, or go to you local craft store and buy a plant basket. Line it with the plastic shopping bags from the supermarket. To make it extra-special, tie a wide contrasting ribbon around it with a large floppy bow.
I found some cute woven plant baskets at the Dollar Tree........for only a dollar. :) They are very light weight, come in round, and square shapes. They make great little waste baskets for the bathroom, for bedside, or in the kid's bedrooms. The plastic bags from the grocery store. You could "gussie" them up a bit with the glue gun and silk flowers around the edge, or lace, or just whatever comes to mind.
I got a 5-gallon container from my local Pizza Hut that they usually mix sauces in. Since this one had a crack in the top, it serves as a quickie trashcan for when I am spotchecking the living room, afterwards, as a foot rest because my legs tend to swell a bit and keeping them elevated helps with the swelling. Perfect for when I am net surfing...LOL!
You can get these flower buckets FREE at Wal-mart. Ask in the floral dept. for the buckets that they store cut flowers in. They make great cleaning buckets as well!
