Upcycled Desk Containers

If you're looking for a quick way to give your desk space a new look, try this really simple craft project. For my new pencil holders I used two cans that once contained garbanzo beans (my favorite!) and some fabric samples that were given to me by one of my best friends, Swann.

Give them a try!

What you'll need:
Two tin cans, any size depending on what you need to store
Fabric of your choice (scraps work perfectly for this project!)
Scissors
Measuring tape
Glue gun


The plan:

• Measure the height of the cans and cut your fabric accordingly
• Wrap the fabric around the can, gluing the fabric to the can every few inches on the top and bottom
• Leave enough fabric to overlap where you started by about 1/2 an inch
• Secure overlapping fabric with glue
• Voila!
