Mr. Robot-o Kitchen

Just a quick and fun post today: Robot storage containers.

I had these large tin cans ready to go out for recycling and thought I would just think of something fun to do with them.

So I grabbed some stray random things around the house---old cassette tapes, nails, grommets, stray buttons---and just hot glued them onto the can into the face of a robot.   Fun, isn't it?

Then I inserted all my ktichen cooking utensils into the large can and it suddenly looked like funky, utilitarian "hair".    

I might do a whole series of these for the display cabinet in the living room.   It has a feeling of those Prada robot t-shirts that were all the rage way back when.... but in this case, I'm using real junk to make these charming bots.
