In the Designer's Words: "As well as looking great this craft caddy is really handy for all your pens, scissors and brushes. It's really easy to make by upcycling some old tin cans and a bit of denim. That’s it once all the cans are attached your caddy is ready to go. I love the stylish copper and denim look of this craft caddy but with the surprise splash of colour from the insides of the cans. You can also use it as a picnic caddy, or just as a handy portable storage for all those bits a pieces you don’t know where to put but want on hand."
You do not have to spend a ton of money on your home décor to get the chic and totally trendy look of copper. Use DIY crafts to add those expensive accents to your home without paying a pretty penny to get them. This craft project idea is the perfect medley of chic, copper décor and organizational genius.
