Liz makes coffee can pencil holder

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. I've been weirdly sick (I'm thinking it's allergies, which I've never had this bad?) and, of course, school has officially taken over my life. At least there's only three and a half weeks until summer vacation right? Right?! Anyway, today I recovered an old coffee can with felt, slapped on some felt flowers and called it a pencil holder. Here's how I did it:

Here's what I used:
Felt (three different colors)
Coffee can (small/medium sized -- 11.3 oz.)
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Oh, and a billion tissues because I had to blow my nose a billion times. Ew, gross.

First, I took off the label from the coffee can and washed it thoroughly.

Next, I cut a piece of felt to cover the can. I only used my glue gun twice for this, both on the back side of the can.

Presto! You now have a felt covered coffee can.

Next, I made some little flowers. I made two smaller ones in light grey and one big one in white. You'll need to get a strip of felt, probably about an inch and a half to two inches in width and as long as you want. Fold it in half and glue it on the edges. Then, cut slits a quarter inch or so apart, a little over half way. Now grab your hot glue gun and start gluing like a mad woman. Glue, curl, glue, curl, glue, curl until you have a flower!

Then, using my hot glue gun once again, I glued the flowers onto the coffee can.

It's pretty cute, right? And it only took me fifteen minutes at the most. You could use any can for this project, like a soup can or something, as long as there were no sharp parts I think. I wouldn't want to cut myself every time I grabbed a pencil.
Alright everyone, have a great rest of the week!
Love, Liz
