Upcycled Fourth of July Utensil Caddy
10 Minutes
Easy
We love to cook out over a campfire during the summer. Even the mosquitoes can't keep us from roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. Since we cook out a lot, we have a fairly organized system for getting everything outside, but the one thing that always stumped me were the utensils. They were often spilled in the bottom of a box or bag and I never knew which ones were clean or dirty.
As I was looking into my stash of cans and jars, I had an aha! moment. Why not use some of my empty cans to help corral the plastic utensils?
I wrapped three soup cans with coordinating patterned paper. Not only is is super easy, but it is inexpensive.
Rather than glue the cans together, I tied them together with some grosgrain ribbon. This will let me remove or add cans as needed.
