Leftover Kitty Litter Canisters? Make a storage bucket! This little craft came to be because of two events in my house. 1.) I always wonder what can you do with kitty litter jugs once they are empty and 2.) I have an almost teenager that is constantly wanting new tubs and trays to store her stuff in.
