Where can i buy these pencil holders »

Emily Hurley I have no idea if this was the case with these, but it looks like you could make a cool project of this with some wooden letters, hot glue, cool contact paper and a few empty coffee cans. :)

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Multipurpose Wonders: Tin Cans
Type of can: Small paint can, coffee can, soup canUse: Organizing art or office suppliesResult: Chances are, one of your earliest DIY projects was wrapping a soup can in some wrapping paper at nursery school and giving it to your dad for his desk as a gift. Use your favorite wallpaper sample or fabric, or bust out the Mod Podge and channel your inner John Derian by decoupaging a few cans for your studio or desk.
added by Vanessa Brunner to 10 Ways to Reuse Wrapping Paper
6. Use scraps to keep your office organized. Smaller wrapping paper pieces can be glued onto old paint cans or other tins to hold supplies.
