DIY Kitchen Storage Solution Using Oatmeal Canisters
8 Materials
$5
1 Hour
Easy
If you are someone who loves to create on a budget, this is the project for you. Best of all this project is easy to make, inexpensive and only requires 4 main materials.
Step 1: Cut the oatmeal canister to your desired length. You can skip this step if you're okay with the length of the canister.
Step 2: With your hot glue gun, begin adding the rope to the canister. Because the glue dries quickly, I've found that the hot glue gun is the best option when adding rope to the canister.
Switch to another rope and glue to canister if that's the look you're going for.
Step 3: Once you get to the top of the canister, burn the ends of the rope. Be extremely cautious when doing this step to prevent the entire rope from burning.
paint, paint, paint!
Step 4: Paint the insides of the canister to give it a more polished look and let dry (the drying time is about 20-30 minutes).
Voila! You're Done. These canisters are 100% customizable and simple to create.
ENJOY

Take a piece of wood like a 2X4 then drill holes but not all the way through at regular intervals! like those crayon holders.
You buy oatmeal and use it up, then rinse out the oat dust. Voila! an oatmeal canister!
