Tom’s of Maine products are one of my favorites out there! From their toothpaste to body wash, I love them all! I think the reason I love them so much is because of the earth-friendly ingredients and because they really do care about the environment in all they do.

Right now, Tom’s of Maine is celebrating Earth Month with Target through the Less Waste Challenge.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tom’s of Maine for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a part of the #LessWasteChallenge, I am creating an upcycling project featuring Tom’s of Maine Products – the sensitive skin body wash to be exact!

How To Make An

Upcycled Flower Vase

Here’s a simple craft that you can do at home with minimal supplies that is super cute!

First – take your empty Tom’s of Maine body wash container and rinse it really good to remove all soap residue.

Once you have it rinsed and dried, take your favorite Washi Tape and begin wrapping it all around the bottle – starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top.

TIP: you may want to work with shorter pieces of tape so that you can get it nice and smooth.

When you get to the top, just tuck a little of the tape over the top of the bottle and push it down in or you can go almost to the top, like I did here. I like the way it looks!

Next, you can fill your vase with water and add a fresh flowers, faux or dried flowers. I had some dried flowers so I added them. Love it!

That’s it!!! See how cute and easy that was?! Add your new Upcycled Tom’s of Maine Flower vase anywhere around the house you need a little sprucing up! EASY! AND you’ve done your part to keep trash out of landfills by upcycling something you have at home! Score!!!
