Coffee Tin Pencil Pot

Coffee Tin Pencil Pot

Posted 2014-06-02 by Jane Streetfollow
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
  • Coffee tin
  • PVA glue
  • Fabric scraps
  • Spray varnish (optional)



  • 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.
