Decorate your cans and pick one or more of these caddy options to use. 4 different options - mix and match! Just in time for summer.

First decorate your cans - there are so many options - stickers, shelf liner, wrapping paper, fabric, ribbon, etc.


For this one I'll be using a mesh ribbon.


You can find more of my can decorating options here:


  • Fabric
  • Paint
  • Ribbon & Stickers
  • Photos/Books/etc


First cut your ribbon to fit your can. Place a line of hot glue and stick one side of your ribbon on it.
Place another line of glue on the end of the ribbon and stick to the can.
You'll need to do 4-6 cans depending on which caddy you'll be using/making.
Our first caddy rotates. Place marbles in one of 2 pie pans.
Stack the empty pie pan onto the marble pie pan.
Place 4 cans inside your empty pie pan and fill with crafting supplies.


This option is great for a work station. Great for many people working around a table at the same time. Kids will use this during crafting and homework time.
Option 2 - Place 6 cans in a basket.
Fill the cans with silverware, napkins, salt and pepper shakers. Now you can bring this caddy inside or out with easy. This basket had more room, so I could have set the napkins & salt and pepper shakers in the middle between the cans and used those cans to hold other supplies needed.
The 3rd option - Place 6 cans on a small serving tray. If you want to secure them - hot glue them, use a magnet on the bottom, or use E6000.
You'll notice I decided to use 5 regular cans and 1 large tuna/chicken can. Fill with office supplies and set on your desk.


Mix and match any of these ideas to personalize for what you need.
