This past holiday season blessed me with lots of goodies, including some decorative tins that I wanted to save and reuse for next year.
 |
| This tin was filled with delicious peppermint popcorn from the Popcorn Factory. |
The problem: there were stickers/labels on the bottoms of them that were not so attractive. I tried the soaking in hot water trick, but the labels did not budge.... they seemed to get more annoying and messy.
 |
| The label was nutrition information about the popcorn inside. |
So I did what any modern person does when faced with a problem like this and I turned to Google. I found a random message board where someone said using furniture polish will do that trick, so I tried it...
 |
| I soaked that bad boy. |
I took care of some other things around the house while I let this soak - probably an hour or so. Then, I used a kitchen scrapper I randomly picked up forever-ago from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for 75 cents. You could probably use a plastic utensil or dish cleaner.
Adios label!! It came off super easy! Once the adhesive was all scrapped off, I just scrubbed the the residue off with a dish brush and hot soapy water.
 |
| See. I told you it was from the Popcorn Factory. |
Voilà! No more giant label. Even though the Popcorn Factory info is still on it, I think it looks much better than a giant sticker. I also did another tin with a smaller label, so now I have two tins I can reuse next year!
Happy reusing!!
