More Designer Series Paper Uses!

Cardboard six-pack holder: Once your six-pack holder is done keeping your soda safe, it can make another useful stop on the way to recycling. Start by covering it with Designer Series Paper and give it a new and improved look.

• What can it hold? Use it to tote condiments, plastic utensils and napkins to a spring picnic, backyard dinner with the family or barbecue party. Or use it to keep light bulbs from rolling around, for carrying coffee cups, water bottles or any time you need an instant caddy.
• Where can it go? If you’re having a get-together with multiple tables, put a cardboard caddy on each table so everyone has what they need to enjoy the meal.
  

Designer Series Paper Uses

Unused silver paint cans are easy to find at home improvement stores for a small cost or you can easily clean out used coffee cans. Recover your cans with Designer Series Paper for a brand new look and add decorative labels so you always know what’s inside.
