This adorable art supply caddy is perfect for little hands. No more dumping all the crayons out to find a certain color! It’s also made from recycled items.
In typical Morena fashion, I was shopping one day and saw a really cute crayon holder. I picked it up to look at the price and then put it down. I figured there had to be a way to make my own. So I kept looking for items that were the right size to make it. And, finally, I found them: in my recycle bin!
I used a plastic cap from spray paint, a cap from a juice bottle, and a toilet paper tube!
I glued the orange cap inside the toilet paper tube, about an inch from the bottom.
Then I covered everything with washi tape and glued the tube inside the paint can top.
I punched a two inch circle from scrap paper and glued it to the base, to make it look neater.
Finally, I sealed the project with Mod Podge, to keep busy little fingers from peeling all the tape off.
The inner circle holds a glue stick and pair of scissors, while the outside holds a ring of crayons.
My daughter couldn’t wait for me to finish taking pictures so she could color!
