Something Outta Nothing

So apparently my office trash can somehow got lost in my move approximately 21 months ago.  What have I been doing with all my office trash you ask?  Oh you know, just making small little pile on my desk and carrying it to a real trash can every week or so.  Or getting fed up with that and hanging a stylish plastic bag from the knob of my desk drawer.  It annoys me whenever I sit at my desk yet I can never remember to buy one when I'm at Target.

Today I'm off of work and I was going to go to Target to return some stuff and buy a trash can.  But it's pretty windy out and I decided the trash can could wait...again.  Then as I was gathering my recycling a light bulb went off:

I don't have an office trash can, but I do have:
 An empty box and some leftover adhesive shelf paper.

So I set up shop in the living room (yes, that's my purrrty new rug):

And made:

It cost $0 and took approximately 3.5 Dave Matthews Band tracks to make.  Pretty sure that's faster than I could have driven to Target.
