DESK ORGANIZERS

Materials:

recycled vegetable can/ice tea canister

leftover painters drop cloth fabric

burlap ribbon

burlap gimp/ribbon

Mod Podge

decorative flowers

hot glue gun/glue

magnets

Directions:

For the Small Container:

Take a recycled vegetable can (mine was green beans, I think!), measure some burlap ribbon around the can; cut to fit and apply the ribbon to the can with Mod Podge. Hot glue any rough edges down.

Let dry.

Measure and hot glue gimp/ribbon to the can.

NOTE:  I know this is pretty intense……you might want to write the directions down so you don’t forget!

Directions for the Second Container:

Pretty much the same as the first container! (Make sure you write that down too!)

I used a recycled ice tea canister and cut a piece of painters cloth fabric I had leftover from my office chair redo which you can see here!

Mod Podge the fabric to the container.  Glue down any loose edges.  Apply gimp/ribbon.

To adorn these high-end “baubles”, I found some cute little flowers……

……hot glued them to magnets…….

……and placed them on the cans!

For full disclosure: I used two magnets per flower for the ice tea container since it is not metal. One magnet was hot glued to the flower, the other placed inside the container so the magnet that was glued to the flower would magnetize to the other magnet.

Does that make sense? (Clear as mud, right!!)

THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT!!!

 I’d be more than happy to answer any questions so please don’t hesitate to ask!!

Until next time………….
