Something old into something new!

So I saved my old coffee can from lovely Trader Joes,

I knew that it would be good for something.

So first I took off the pesky label.

And then I printed this cute design

from a blog that I just stumbled onto.

(I'm excited to see what her other designs will be)

After I cut the paper to size,

I folded the paper over onto itself

(without creasing it)

to punch holes on both sides.

Then I wrapped around the container

and laced it up with a pretty ribbon.

It looked pretty good,

but needed a little something.

So I attached a label that reads

Stylos et crayons

(Pens and pencils in French)

Because..

everything is cuter in French..

Ta da..

My new pen and pencil holder.

P.s. I stuffed some tissue paper in the bottom,

in order to see the pens and pencils better.
