Monday Made It

This week I thought I'd join up with

Made It Monday

I use old tin cans for storing things like scissors,

and textas,

 and lead pencils, etc....

But for some reason I ended up storing the colored pencils like this ( in an old wipes container ):

   It has quite a lot of room in there, but yeah, makes it more difficult to see ALL the colors in there though.

So.....
I thought, I would decorate some new tins.

As you can see at the beginning of the post this is NOT a new craft for me ( I've had lots of practice in the past with making these ).  I currently have a number of tins decorated and in use.  LOL

But, I figured those pencils should get a new home~!!

So I picked out some super duper nice patterned paper and cut them to size.

 

Then I used my double sided tape ( that's a super power that I have ) and taped the paper to the tins.  Then I raided my ribbon stash and added a cute hot pink / polka dots strip to the tins as well. 

I must say, if you need a quick and easy project, this is it. It doesn't take long at all. And it's a bargain cost wise too.

Up close on two of them.

Then I took those pencils and popped them in.

Pencil Heaven. Well, almost. If I upgraded those pencils to my Prisma Colors - yes, then we could say Pencil Heaven. Although to be fair, those pencils are still pretty good. I don't skimp and save on pencils. I spend the money. Quality is a must.

 It sure beats how they were before the project.

AND it will be much easier for pencil selection now too.

Thanks for visiting.
