Hola mi amors! Just wanted to do a quick lil' post to show you my new pencil/pen holders. Aren't they adorable? For the past year I was using the tiniest pencil holder, which was actually a weird glass tube thing for candles. Since I'm slowly trying to spruce up my office, diy style, I made these tin can holders. They are super easy to make. I just took the label off of the cans and washed them out. Then, I measured how tall and wide the area I wanted to cover was, cut out paper to this size (plus half an inch wider,) and then glued the paper on. Lastly, I tied a bow of yarn on to them, and BAM! Done! Have any of you made paper covered cans?
