Chick-fil-a Mom's Panel Challenge- Repurposing Salad Container


 
Hello! Welcome to A Sampling Bee! Today, I share with you how I repurposed my Chick-fil-a Salad Container. This was a challenge that all of the Mom's Panel got to participate in. Not only did we get to try Chick-fil-a's new Spicy Southwest Salad for free, but we got to create an awesome DIY using the container. I immediately put on my thinking cap. I decided to make a yarn bowl out of my container. This was a very simple DIY. Here's my DIY:


To create a yarn bowl, all you'll need is a few things. An empty salad container, a spray paint in your choice of color and colorful stickers. You will also need some cardboard and a drill, or something to make a small hole in the container.

First, I had my husband drill a small hole in the top of the container. Next, my husband and son spray painted the bottom and top on the container. I let the container dry over night. After the paint dried, my son added some cute beach themed stickers. String your yarn through the hole and voila! A homemade yarn bowl!


Pictured above, is the awesome Spicy Southwest Salad. This salad is full of spicy deliciousness. It contains: Lettuce, tomatoes, spicy grilled chicken, corn & black beans, seasoned tortilla strips, chili lime pepitas and Monterey jack cheese. Topped with a creamy salsa dressing. So yummy.. I eat at least one of these salads a week! :)
 
 
Here are a few more way to use the Chick-fil-a Salad Containers:
 
 Coupon holder
 
 Play date snack container
 
 Popcorn bowl
 
Perfect for dipping bread for French toast :)
