Recycled Can Caddies

by Rustic Crafts & Chic Decor - Renee

It's easy to come up with some handy storage caddies by recycling tin cans. I decorated a few can with a variety of different things like burlap, decorative paper & Mod Podge, and paint. I added wire handles to some by punching a couple of holes into the sides of the cans to attach the wire through.
