DIY: Upcycled Watering Jug

I’m working with Method on a few posts introducing their new Clean Happy Campaign. Their new May video, Say No to Jugs, is below the tutorial.

I’ve seen upcycled versions of all kind of things using old jugs but thought making a watering can jug was particularly useful. If you don’t have a garden, you could also poke random holes all around it and make a fun water toy for the bath! Henry loves playing with it during bath time now.

Would you like to see how to make it?

Step 1: Grab an old jug (laundry, juice, milk carton, anything big and plastic) and clean it out thoroughly. To get any ugly stickers off, soak them in hot water and peel slowly.

Step 2: Tighten the lid back on and then using a drill and a thin bit, poke a few random holes in the top. It took a little bit of pressure to get through but not too much. My lady muscles could handle it just fine.

Step 3: Fill up with water and screw the lid back on tight.

I’m a huge fan of Method’s concentrated laundry detergent ever since I was introduce to them a couple years ago. So much smaller and lighter, plus they save 200 million gallons of water a year. Every little bit helps, right?

Also, you can enter to win a year’s supply of laundry detergent right here on Method’s facebook page. Plus, every Thursday during this month, there will be a $2.00 off coupon for Method laundry detergent right here. The coupon will only be on available to print on Thursdays.
