#TBCCrafters Thrilling Thursday Craft - Hanging Tin Can Organizers

Check it Out!  I am still trying to figure out my craft space.  I know that may sound strange, but starting with nothing and working with what I could get within my budget was overwhelming and all of my aspirations and desires of a well organized, structured space, went out the window! My craft space is also our homeschool room and my office and I wanted them all to be separate but somehow that didn't work out so well.  

I ended up with 2 bookcases and a desk, I wanted that desk to fit between the bookcases, but that didn't work out either so I found a rectangle card table marked down at Target that was a perfect fit and that is my main craft space.  I have another table on the other side that is suppose to be for homeschool stuff, but it's full of craft stuff, but that is another project! lol

I hung a simple wooden shelf over my table but it's a little plain, so I decided to put some of these tins cans I have to good use by making some hanging organizers.  

Supplies:  

• Tin Cans - various sizes
• Ribbon
• Scrapbook paper
• Lace
• Glue/double stick tape

Step 1:  glue/tape one end of ribbon to one side of the can

Step 2:  roll can over and glue/tape other end of ribbon to opposite side of can

Step 3:  measure and cut scrapbook paper to fit

Step 4:  glue/tape paper onto can 

Step 5:  embellish as desired

Here are my cans with just my ribbon and paper on them.  

And here are my decorated, finished cans.  I kept it simple although I am considering adding some labels in the form of tags.  We will see, but for now they are perfect for storing my pens, paintbrushes and other tools in.   Now I just need to get some decent hooks to hang them from!  I also decorated another can that coordinates for my desk top.
