Recycle a coffee tin to create a funky pencil pot. The coffee cans with a plastic lid already have a smooth edge so they are ready to cover. I used scraps of fabric samples with different textures in different shades of grey and black to cover my tin.
Materials
Method
Cut the fabric into small pieces. I cut different sizes of rectangles and squares.
Cover the coffee tin with PVA glue.
Stick the fabric scraps onto the coffee can, applying more PVA glue as you go. I used the different shades and textures to create a patchwork effect.
Once all the fabric is on, cover with another layer of PVA glue.
When dry, spray with varnish if you wish.
