Tools and Materials


Pretty pen pots, How-to step by step
Making pretty pots
Wash and dry the empty tin can. Cut a piece of printed card the size of your tin can (you can use the old can label as a template). Cover the outside of the can in strips of double sided sticky tape. Remove backing from double sided tape and carefully wrap paper around can. Fill with paint brushes, pencils or pens!

  1. Ahh so many uses for things we throw away (or recycle as the case maybe) tins and jars are useful for so much. I even decorated a jar with the sleeve of an old jumper and then made some small flowers and glued them on, pretty as are yours :)

  4. These are just lovely, Tori. You're so damn creative, I'm jealous lol.

    And in bonus to this, I've now found a new beautiful paper supplier (I'm in the UK too) which is thick enough and amazingly beautiful designs to make custom home made cupcake wrappers. Brucey bonus!!

    Thanks for sharing,
