A Project by Berries in the Meadow
A great recycling project to use up your odds-n-ends of scrapbook supplies. Done in as quick-as-a-wink (A wonderful craft project for children!) as well. Use this caddy for your next backyard bbq or carry it on a picnic!
List of needed supplies- 3 recycled tin cans- washed/ dried & labels removed
- 3 types of misc. colored co-ordinated ribbon
- 3 sheets of color co-ordinated scrapbook, wrapping, or printed paper
- 1 yd. galvanized wire
- Spray adhesive
- Scissors
- Needle nose pliers/wire cutter
- Nail & hammer or electric drill
Put 4 holes in each can (one over one, like a button, two on each side) using either the nail & hammer or electric drill. (For sturdier construction, make 4 holes on each side, two over two like a 4-hole button)
Measure & cut each paper to fit around can.
Spray adhesive on back of paper strips.
twist with pliers to tighten & push end down
using wire through the top holes (wire needs to be 3x as long as bottom hole wire).
With excess wire, loop into a handle and twist bottom. (see Photo)
Measure three strands of ribbon to go around each can with some overlap.
spray adhesive onto ribbon. wrap ribbon around cans ( we did 2 ribbons on top, 1 on the bottom).
Take three more strands of ribbon & tie a knot using all three base of loop handle.
Fill with silverware & enjoy!
