This is a post that I have been meaning to write since February, the last time we went to IKEA. I kid you not. This post is eight months late! (I am so behind with, oh, everything.)
Here’s an easy way to make a transportable art caddy. Gather empty and clean tin cans and/or jam jars and place them in a handled wooden cutlery tray.
This particular wooden silverware tray came from IKEA, cost less less than $7, and holds six cans.
In our art caddy we have a spot for markers, colored pencils, writing pencils, erasers, scissors, glitter glue pens and popsicle sticks.
Instead of adhering the cans to the tray, we left them free floating so we can remove individual cans from the caddy to bring just one artistic medium to the table.
I have plans to paint the caddy blue… but considering that I’ve been meaning to paint it since February, it may be a long time coming.
