Create Your Own Decorative Art Supply Organizer

Level of Difficulty: Intermediate - Parental supervision required for specific tasks
Estimated Completion Time: 30-60 minutes
Theme: Create Your Own


Create this handy art supply organizer to add color and organization to your desk or counter top. More or less cans may be added to increase the size or amount of storage needed. These can be custom made for holiday themes or seasons. Add two more cans to the back and have a complete circle centerpiece to fill with flowers or fill with forks, knifes and spoons etc. at a family party/social.

Decorate cans per color and fill with corresponding crayons, colored pencils or markers. They can be as simple and plain or creative and busy as you like. The possibilities are endless!

When you are done, we'd love to see your artwork. Please go to our gallery and upload your finished masterpiece! We can't wait to see it! If you like to Blog, send us a comment and tell us about your
experience!
