DIY Desk Organizers | Recycled Tin Cans


One of my most popular posts was this desk organizer I made for my craft room. Click HERE to check it out! So with back to school around the corner, I thought I would make a few more and get the kids coloring supplies organized.


This project is super simple and quick to make! The two I made below must have taken me less then 15 minutes make. All you need is a few tin cans, decorative duct tape, hot glue, and ribbon if you like. Make them with as many cans as you like... so easy! Click here for instructions.
Here is the hot pink zebra-patterned organizer I made for my daughter.


And here is the one I made for my son with the mustache pattern. 


Hopefully, this will get my kids back into school mode (fingers crossed). Well if it doesn't, hopefully at least it inspires you to create your own. Something like this would also be perfect in the kitchen or the bathroom... Hmmm, getting more ideas... better keep saving those cans!

Thanks so much for stopping by! 
Happy Crafting :)

I was so excited when I found this printed duct tape at the Dollar Store. I couldn't believe it! I picked up the last leopard print roll!

DIY Desk Organizer | Using Recycled Tin Cans

This project is so easy I really don't think it needs much explanation. I used two strips of duct tape on each can, aligning the edge of the tape to the top and the bottom edges on the can. This left a gap right in the center on the can. Perfect and the exact size I needed for the ribbon I used. I finished each can by hot-gluing ribbon to the tops and bottoms of the cans. Once all the cans were finished I secured them all together with another ribbon.

For the top tuna can, I did the same but then used some Velcro dots to secure to the top center of the other cans.

I hope this inspires you to create and organize your own desk using some recycled cans and cool print duct tape!
