Beautiful Craft Supply Holders for Under $1

How many times have we all gone on a search for that elusive writing utensil or found a drawer full of craft scissors? It is hard to keep crafting supplies and writing utensils organized in a drawer, but who wants to have mismatched pencil holders throughout the house corralling all your items?

This is a great idea that I came across while trying to organize all my crafting items. What's even better is that it can be easily changed to match your space and it costs under a dollar to make!




These match my purple, silver, and white craft room.

What you will need:

Empty can
Scissors
Glue Stick or Rubber Cement
Ruler
Scrapbook paper that matches your decor
Spray Paint (Optional)

How to Make:


Before you start, you can decide whether or not you would like to spray paint the inside and outside of the can first. It adds a nice touch if your holder is going to be placed below eye level


1)Measure the space between the lips of the can. Make a straight line on your scrapbook paper according to your measurement. Cut.


2) Glue stick or rubber cement the entire cut portion of your paper, paying extra attention to each of the ends. Carefully wrap your scrapbook paper around the can, pressing it against the can as you go.


3) Let dry for up to 24 hours. Place your beautiful, perfectly matched holder, and enjoy!
