Here is a little thing I created out of Pringles cans and Play Dough buckets:
I stuck them on a plastic lazy susan thingy (I think it was originally for cake decorating, which I never got around to trying), covered them with paper napkins and then slathered it with polyurethane.
As you can see I can keep all my scissors, pens, pencils, rulers, glue sticks, seam rippers, etc. handy (and protected from theiving children who need to take their own pens to work at Wal-Mart, Can you believe those cheap bastards at WalMart make the minimum wage cashiers bring their own pens? Oops I digress again)
My daughter said "hey mom, you should sell those". I like it very much and I find it very handy and I think it was a brilliant idea, but I don't really think many people have this much crap that they feel compelled to keep right beside them. Anyway, very sweet of her, she really does love me and encourage me. I said I would make one for her for free and she said it was o.k. she didn't really need one. I do love her.
That is a really good idea! One I could even use in my classroom as a teacher! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI could use one too. I would pay for it! I can see people buying it at Staples or through late nite TV infomercial.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog yesterday. It meant a lot to me someone else understood about work clothes.
I love sweats and t shirts, but other than being very comfy, they aren't sexy, they aren't nice, and they do make you feel sad.
Take care. I look forward to reading more of you
I did something like that. I just used cans and covered them with a pretty contact paper. Very neat the way you put them all together :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty. I think all kinds of people could use one for their desk or kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great! And a bonus of course is that you could use gift wrap or napkins or newspaper or maps from National Geographic or... the list of possibilities is endless.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea.
Wow, thanks guys. You're going to make my head swell.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is right. I see bags made of things like Pringles cans and why not these? You'd have to eat a lot of Pringles to get the cans but other cans would work as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree - that is absolutely brilliant! You should sell those.
ReplyDeleteWhat great teachers' or Father's Day gifts they would make.
