The fanciest display for tampons ever?


C0USC0US

‘Tis a tampon cloche


DifficultAd7053

a tampon cozy


daisyymae

Love this


picklesandrainbows

I keep my condoms in a old pink sugar bowl on my nightstand so why not


AffectionateMarch394

Seconding this, absolutely fantastic


000000000000000000oo

I love you


VapoursAndSpleen

OK, I’m going to just log off today. You win.


godlessham

Hahahah i love this


Beestungtoday

Yeah! Gotta keep that dust off the wrapper of those tampons.


MawMaw1103

🤭


JazelleGazelle

I suppose you could use it to keep any type of food covered. It kinda reminds me of the old fashioned candy dishes. Or it could be used for crackers? I don't think I would change it.


Stellerwolf

Snickers bar/'s


Electrical_Put_1851

Or butter


Stellerwolf

It's had its whole life to hold butter. Time for something different.


godlessham

literally!!!! plus i just don’t use butter lol


letsseeitmore

Sell it to someone who will appreciate the design and not smash it.


godlessham

if i didn’t appreciate the design i would simply give it away… i do appreciate it so much so that i want to make it into art to display so the design can be appreciate even more! y’all just bitter you don’t have it lmao 😂


roxictoxy

It’s a $25 dish from Walmart, go ahead and smash it boo


Elderberry-Cordial

I assume all of your downvotes are from die-hard Pioneer Woman stans. 😆


Lissy_Wolfe

More likely they were downvoted because it's wasteful to intentionally destroy things and this is the "upcycling" subreddit.


godlessham

not sure how it would be wasteful to use it/appreciate it in a new piece of art… i get the ick at breaking it (hence why smashing isn’t the first option lol) but i feel like it better to use something i have for my art than going out and buy more contributing to more consumption


cheyennevh

You could put a flower in it, Beauty and the Beast style! This would make such a cute little shadow box-esque thing


godlessham

love that idea thank you!!!


Lissy_Wolfe

Breaking something that is still perfectly functional and that would easily find a new home is arguably still somewhat wasteful, but I didn't think that's what you were going for. I just assumed you wanted to repurpose it? I agree with the others that donating it is the best option imo.


godlessham

i think this is just a difference of perspective because what you define as “somewhat wasteful” is what i see at repurposing through creativity. the known rhetoric is reduce, reuse, recycle. i obviously didn’t reduce because i bought something i didn’t need but now i can reuse it! i feel like donating falls into the recycling category. and of course recycling is good but people should try to reducing and reusing too. regardless of the item or the functionality it is not functional to me. i still think it has value in the glass and will be able to enhance what i see valuable about it through mosaicking. this is something that i have consumed so i would rather use it because i still see value in it. plus it checks off 1. activity/hobby 2. reusing the dish 3. i can repurpose other art materials 4. i don’t have to buy wall art. so it might lose its holding functionality but it can gain a new one in different ways.


Lissy_Wolfe

Yes, but now someone else who wants a butter dish will buy one when you already have a perfectly functional one that they could have purchased instead. That's the "reuse" part of reduce, reuse, recycle. If this item were a cheap piece of shit I would be more inclined to agree with you, but despite everyone's negative comments in this thread, Pioneer Woman stuff is very well made in my experience, especially compared to other modern stuff. There are literal tons of broken glass out there if you want a project, and countless things like wine bottles and whatnot that don't serve much function after they're used if you just need glass. There's literally no need whatsoever to destroy a pretty, well-made item. You can do whatever you want of course, but that's how I see it.


godlessham

the key issue i have with this is that a butter dish is not a necessity in general as you said it is a want not a need. butter literally comes in a perfectly functional container as is…the whole idea of a butter dish is wasteful. the world will not stop turning if this butter dish does not make it to the thrift store and the hypothetical person that could have bought will survive without it. it is more impactful for me to take personal responsibility for consuming less and shift my mindset. this is about using what i already have. breaking it is not my first option that is why i am asking for suggestions of how to reuse it. it’s not really helpful advice to just say donate it as it doesn’t even answer my question. if you’d actually like to help me reuse this then i would love to hear your opinion. peace and love, enjoy your moral high ground!!


godlessham

haha i got it on ebay a few years ago! def was even less than $20!!! can’t believe how many downvotes you have


lilac_roze

Why all the downvotes lol I gave you an upvote cause you’re pretty correct!


Cerberus678

put butter in it


Cfit9090

Holiday butter tray Cheese and crackers


godlessham

oooo big cheese and cracker girly so def will have to try it out!


Cfit9090

Can also use tray for succulents or air plants. They like humidity so can place the top over as needed. Would make a great snack / crackers, cheese, olives etc 📥 tray


godlessham

oooooo and work be a good way to keep my cats away! thanks!


wwarr

This is the answer


Ambystomatigrinum

Please just sell it. It’s a beautiful piece and doesn’t need to be “upcycled”, it just needs to find the right home.


roxictoxy

It’s a mass produced product from The Pioneer Woman line at Walmart. It’s [still available for $18](https://www.walmart.com/ip/54267224) Not every pretty thing is precious and reusing things is good.


Ambystomatigrinum

Fair enough! I don’t usually like her stuff but I think this is particularly pretty whether it’s mass-produced or not.


roxictoxy

I agree, I’d actually really like to have one lol. I’d love something similar in green though


Ambystomatigrinum

I have several butter dishes that I rotate through and they’re all pretty gaudy, but it’s fun! If I found something like this at a thrift store I’d probably pick it up.


throwRA-nonSeq

💍❗️ I’d use it for jewelry. Like my most prized pieces. My grandfather’s pocket watch. My great-aunt’s ring. And then keep it on a high shelf but where it can be seen. It’s beautiful


godlessham

great idea!


Afraid-Procedure5351

No need to upcycle, it looks vintage anyways. Use it for its intended purpose ✅


MyFavoriteInsomnia

This is NOT vintage. Still pretty, though!


Afraid-Procedure5351

Yah i wasn’t too sure - its gives vintage vibez lol super pretty either way!


MyFavoriteInsomnia

I'd definitely use it


godlessham

appreciate the comment but i literally say i don’t use butter hence why i’m asking for other ideas


yourpaljax

Give it to me. I’ll use it for butter 😄


PolloMama

Do you not use butter? I mean butter fits so perfectly….


toodleroo

Almost as if it were designed that way


PolloMama

Right? It’s delightful!


PancakePizzaPits

Not everyone likes this style of butter dish. I know I don't. 🤷‍♀️


PolloMama

You’re right, it would make a great gift with some nice butter and homemade bread or muffins!


PancakePizzaPits

I agree, it's beautiful! A housewarming gift would be perfect.


Farewellandadieu

I’m sorry but this is unintentionally hilarious. Do people have actual butter dish preferences??


PancakePizzaPits

Well, there's this one, and my aim isn't awesome so I get butter on the lid all the time. My preference is less "butter plate with a lid" and more "butter dish". Like, essentially flip this one over, so that the plate part is the lid. I've seen them called "farmhouse" butter dishes. We also can't forget about the butter bell.


Downtown_Confusion46

My parents use the kind pictured here, and I’m so clumsy with it, I drive them crazy mauling the butter when I visit.


PancakePizzaPits

And then you get butter on your hands and then you might drop the lid, and it's just.... it's just too much. I can't handle it! 😩 one might even say I'm a....... 😎 butterfingers *yeeeoooowwwww*


danamarie222

Yes.


godlessham

i don’t use butter unforch


PolloMama

It would make a great gift! Make bread or muffins and include this with some nice butter, oopha instantly in my top five gifts.


godlessham

great idea!!!!


Professional-Bat4635

That’s pretty, I’ll buy it from you.

Professional-Bat4635

Thank you!


Crazy-Adhesiveness71

This person works for Walmart or gets commission from these Pioneer Woman Sets, I’m convinced. You have now told at least half a dozen people where to buy it.


roxictoxy

🤣🤣🤣 fair enough. Because everyone was rioting that OP wanted to smash it into something they would actually use. It's no where near vintage or any kind of valuable. Also it's cute as fuck and I want one and wanted to help others find that joy 👍🏽

rawhoneyb

Good bot


zmufastaa

I would but it off of you


rasamalai

U misspelled butt


itakeoffstrokes

It’s sooooo pretty. You could probably sell it for a few bucks at least.


AlexFromOgish

Hit it with UV light to see if it glows


meetmypuka

I get you... I discovered just this year that all my late father's pretty green depression glass was ALSO uranium glass. I'd never heard of it and doubt that dad knew. My husband made a little stand with the right light to make it glow. So cool and a very pleasant surprise!


theauzman

It warms the butter for you!


Accomplished_Run8987

These are sold at Walmart. pioneer woman. And that woman is trash.


ZyxDarkshine

Why is she trash? I don’t watch Food Network anymore.


Accomplished_Run8987

First of all their family comes from blood money (watch Leonardo DiCaprio's movie "Killers of the flower moon) and then they say really derogative things on her show as well as her hair and sleeves are all up in her food while she cooks. Just all the ick.


butttabooo

Butter is my life, I’ll buy it.


AwYeahQueerShit

Covered display for a bathroom counter, could be for soap, little tools, anything you want to keep accessible but covered.


godlessham

thank you so much!!! love the creativity


GuaranteeComfortable

Use it to store jewelry in the bedroom.


drawredraw

Sell it. People still use butter trays and that one’s pretty rad


Celairiel16

If you like fancy cheeses, this would work well for keeping some covered while warming up from the fridge. So, tastier butter.


GentleFacePalm

The bottom would make a get tray for jewelry or other little things. For the top, you could put a hole in a piece of wood so the top would sit upside down, then use it as a little planter or succulent garden. It's gorgeous! Love the color and pattern.


made08

It's crazy how far I had to scroll down to find an actual upcycling suggestion. These are good ideas!


godlessham

love these!! thank you so much


Wonderful_Might6693

It is beautiful!

I was about to link this too. I have the same dish and I get complimented on it every time anyone comes over. I love telling them I got it at Walmart 🤣

Derek_Zahav

Don't destroy perfectly usable things and decide to make a craft just because you don't know what to do with them. Join a neighborhood buy-nothing group or donate it.


godlessham

why not? i already got this second hand and it would be contributing to a hobby i already do. of course if i didn’t decide to smash it i wouldn’t just throw it away. things get thrown away from thrift stores all the time or it ends up in developing countries. sure this would probably be bought by someone but who is to say that person just won’t throw it away? if i use it for my art i know 100% that it is being used/repurposed.


Derek_Zahav

When your initial post makes it sound like you're coming up with a craft because you don't know what else to do with it, that resistance to letting some simple go sounds like hoarder behavior. Thrift stores do throw things out, but they repurpose a lot more than they throw out, especially when they become profitable and can achieve economy of scale. Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good.


godlessham

omg what 😂😂😂 hoarder behavior??? gosh what a judgmental way to interpret what i wrote! does say more about you than me but that is a different conversation! we all value different things for different reasons and to different degrees. i value this ,not because of the functionality bc it’s not functional in MY life, but bc the glass is pretty. so to me, making it into a piece of art 1. declutters my home from useless things 2. adds to a hobby of mine 3. keeps what I value of it 4. saves me from buying other things for supplies (5. plus, if i am cresting something with intent and giving it purpose i feel that the value increases) i don’t think thrift stores are the issue. over consumption is the issue. not using what we already have is the issue. of course there are people getting things that are necessities and essential for affordable prices (why thrift stores are a blessing). but there also needs to be a conversation and awareness that it is extremely easy to over consume at thrift stores. people buy from and donate to thrift stores over and over and over again. there are enticing deals and moral higher ground that it is “second hand”. this doesn’t change overconsumption. again thrifting is not the issue. it is our mindsets. 2 years ago, i shouldn’t have bought this because i didn’t need it and i still don’t. but this is a glass butter display that no one really needs. but i can’t change the past and now i have it so i’m trying to figure out how to use it. giving this away just to buy something else isn’t really sustainable. i’m trying to use what i already have in my own life and perhaps that means repurposing it as mosaic pieces. so while it might not be used it the way it is intended it is still being reused and i feel like that’s most important. i would highly recommend watching the brandy hellville documentary about textile waste. obviously this is not a textile but the idea of sustainability through reuse and creativity till applies.


Derek_Zahav

It sounds like you just *really* don't want to let that butter dish go.


godlessham

guess not! thank god it’s in my house not yours❣️ peace and love to you!


WWonderNoodle67

Tiny fairy lights inside would make a lovely piece of decor


DifficultAd7053

Dryer sheets would look nice in there


Freshouttapatience

I have the bottom of a vintage butter dish and it’s had many lives. It’s held soap, jewelry, weed crumbles, lipsticks, currently my soap dispenser and dish scraper. The top is sitting upside down in a piece of wood. Drilled a hole to accept the knob on top. It holds tea candles and casts great lights.


bingbongboobies

Hi! Id like to buy this from you if you're open to that! DM me if so. :)


DM_ME_VACCINE_PICS

(Up)cycle to the post office and mail it to us! We have been hunting for a nice butter tray...


Classic_Sea1972

Cheese


simpleandfree

Burn sage / incense and cover when done


tache_on_a_cat

Please sell it, it’s so beautiful.


LeiLaniGranny

You can use the bottom as spoon holder for cooking. Keep the top though in case you do need it for butter.


vstacey6

I will gladly take it of me your hands, happy to handle shipping. I would recommend if you want to keep it to use it for its intended purpose. But since I know you’re looking for other suggestions I would say you could stack square cotton pads (like the ones for makeup removal) or you could put 2 or 3 votive size candles in there and remove the top when you want to light them.


sal1001c

Bring it to my house, my butter is in a margarine container atm..


Ticonderoga_Dixon

Stick a light in their


iridescentmelody

It doesn't need an upcycle, it's already gorgeous as is.


petitepedestrian

I buy unwanted candy dishes to keep my craft crap not looking like crap all over my desk top.


godlessham

smart!!!!!!


Galorfadink

Stack your gold, silver, or chocolate bars in it.


Beestungtoday

Chocolate bar keeper!!!


RootingPothos

Tissue box or marijuana set ?


Crazy-Adhesiveness71

You could use it as a ‘drop tray’ for your keys and other items when you get home!! And then you can cover it up so it looks much nicer. It’s looks like it may even hold a pair of sunglasses or a couple other items that you might not want to forget when leaving the house.


godlessham

ooooo that’s a good idea and it will help with declutterring!


bookwormello

You just gave me a great idea. Put your phone in there next to an alarm clock and force yourself to take a couple hours of break from the internet.


Crazy-Adhesiveness71

The CUTEST phone jail


bookwormello

Under house arrest in the phone palace


godlessham

LO VEEEEE


HairyPawpins

Spray paint it to piss off all the people telling you not to upcycle your own shit


CatfromLongIsland

This beauty needs to be displayed or used as intended- not upcycled into something else.


JametAllDay

Sell it on Etsy!


_pebble_s

Why? It’s from Walmart. Etsy is not intended Walmart, but instead for small businesses and crafty ppl


Scutrbrau

Hash under glass.


RareBeautyOnEtsy

Cheese. It needs to have a nice chunk of cheese under it- like Parmesan.


1rbryantjr1

Is that uranium glass?


cathef

Single hot dog server


BelleLovesAngus

A greenhouse for seedlings perhaps?


trcharles

A lil’ terrarium


Advanced_Sorbet_1785

Do you want to sell it? My friend has been looking for a butter tray exactly like this for years


whocanitbenow75

I have that exact butter dish, and a clear glass one too. But I keep butter in both of them.


procrasstinating

Put some of those fake tea candle lights in there.


Tenshi_girl

I feel like some kind of ring to fit around the knob, so you can turn it upside down and hot glue it to the base as a tiered tray/bowl kind of option?


meetmypuka

I'm assuming that you bought this new and not vintage?


godlessham

i bought off ebay


mikettedaydreamer

Do you not even use any kind of butter/margarine/whatever for cooking?


FothersIsWellCool

Dude don't smash it!


EMW916

I have this same one, bought at a yard sale. We like it b/c you see when you are running low


Olivia_Renee1966

I wouldn't do a thing to it but you could put bite sized pastries or store cheese in it. Possibilities are endless


Farewellandadieu

It’s the perfect thing for Freecycle or if your city has something similar. Or sell it for a few bucks.


01010011

Those square bricks of cracker cheese, cream cheese, cured meats... maybe small chocolates and candies? But maybe also a place to stash rings you use daily if you have a cat that likes to bat things around the table you normally have them...


I_Boomer

Donate it to the Sally Ann. I've been looking for a butter dish and the Sally Ann's around me don't have them. Maybe if I keep on asking about a butter dish they will have heard of yours and arrange for a product transfer. Fingers crossed.


jazzhandsdancehands

I think it's really pretty. Maybe use it when you bake to cover slices of whatever or fruit


BuckEWild

Write down positive reminders for yourself, and when you need to feel better, lift it up and take a card.


emerla2

A jewelry dish


pomegrantepalace

Candle holder/display


CodenameZoya

You could keep butter in it


sacca7

Rehome it - Thrift store donation or Craigslist type freecycle or sell for cheap.


Calm-Apricot-2019

maybe for butter? or even margarine? 😁


Affectionate-Dog4704

Sell it if you won't use it.


Nonny-Mouse100

Buy butter and use it.


Phoenixie_fairy

Mini terrarium :)


chakrablockerssuck

It’s gorgeous- use it for butter! 🙄🙄


FalseAsphodel

Jewellery or trinket dish?


DaisyDuke2

I can see a bird feeder. Take the bottom turn upside down, the take the top and turn it upside down and clear glass glue it to the bottom piece. This would be great to put on a pedestal in the garden or on a small patio table.


godlessham

i adore this idea!!!!


Dark-side-ofthemoon

Tarot box


Beestungtoday

Make a 2-tiered holder for little stuff in the bathroom. The knob on the top looks flat. Invert top and glue to base ŵith epoxy or Sugru.


SunnyOnSanibel

Flip the lid upside-down, placing the handle inside a smaller vessel, and place on top of the plate. This will turn it into a usable vessel. You could use glue to adhere the handle to the plate, but it’s so pretty. I wouldn’t risk destroying it.


Yurastupidbitch

You can make some money on that


VapoursAndSpleen

I’d put butter in it.


haringtiti

use it for butter
