It occurs to me that this could be made like a basket liner too, with fabric on the inside and then perhaps a gathered bottom with elastic or a drawstring. Easy to change out for washing or whatever. I have some crocks in my kitchen that I store kitchen utensils in and this would be a way to change the look. Thanks for the inspiration!

Meg, let me just say that this project was incredibly easy to make. I used a smaller can to hold all of the kiddlings colored pencils. They love it! I love it! I’ve already packed the materials to make the scissor and paintbrush holders in my bag to take camping with me this weekend. Thank you.

I used cans for decorating the table a few weeks ago too: I had written the menu on a thick paper, cutted out the words and sewed them on some felt together with all kinds of buttons and little figures representing the menu (for ex.: a bee for the honey sauce,..) And inside the can there were a few flowers, it looked very nice too!

So gorgeous! I definitely need to make one of these to hold pencils. Don’t really understand why you’d line it though… all that beautiful fabric is never seen. Wouldn’t it be enough to just press the edges under?
