Wrapping Caddy {DIY and a winner}

This all started after I saw this post on Eighteen 25 over Christmas.

I fall madly in love.

Jump forward three months and I am just now making one, or should I say

I just now had a good enough reason to make one.

You see I got to meet someone I already considered a friend but

until this weekend our friendship had never moved out of the computer screen.

Kori from Paper & Pigtails has been someone I have grown to love and admire for many reasons. And I wanted to give her something as a wee little thanks for all she has done for me.

After a little trip to Sonic for a Cherry Limeade {YUMM-O} and a drink holder, I got to make

the Wrapping Caddy.

The caddy pre make over {I had already hold punched it though}. I hot glued all the bottom flaps shut. And after two coats of Mod Podge, I got to the goodies to go inside.

I took mason jars and taped them off and sprayed the bottoms a pretty blue. I filled two with The Twinery twine, by taking wooden clothes pins and wrapping it around them. Another jar I filled with fabric rosettes I made. And the fourth, I put clip board letters in.

When I Mod Podged, I had added a paper dolly to the handle.

I took plain white tags and add a little fabric ruffle to the bottom of them, then attached them to the caddy with wooden clothes pins.

I pulled the twine through the holes {I wish I had added those cute eyelets like on the Eighteen 25 caddy}. Great way to keep your twine on hand with a little pull.

Lastly I added a fabric ruffle to the box to cover up the Sonic logo.

It turned out WAY cute. I have a feeling I will be heading to Sonic for more Cherry Limeades, very soon.

Enjoy!

Lazy Susan Art Caddy Tutorial

If your house is anything like mine, art supplies are always out and most likely all over the table.

So instead on spending $50 on this art caddy {which is super small for all our stuff}, I spent under $15 making my own {which is MUCH bigger}.

What you will need:

- Lazy Susan {Mine came from Ikea for $7.99}

- Metal buckets. 5 in total {again mine came from Ikea .99 each, same buckets from Buggies party}

- 2 sheets of foam

- Scissors

- Hot glue

- Pen

1. First things first. Place all you buckets on the lazy susan in the spots you are going to want them.

2. Then trace the bottom of the bucket on the foam sheet.

3. Cut the circle out, then take the outer portion and fold in half.

4. Cut around the outer portion to create a circular ring.

5. Glue the ring to the board.

{Repeat steps 2-5 for all buckets}

6. Fill your buckets up

Now when you spin your lazy susan, your buckets will stay put! And you can still remove them from the board!

Hope you enjoy!
