DIY Supply Caddy
This fun caddy is an upcycle project made from a combination of new and recycled materials. As an added bonus, it’s so easy that it can be completed in under 30 minutes. Fill it with supplies!
Supplies
- Glue gun
- 2 empty and clean snack canisters
- Colored Burlap (If you cannot find colored burlap, read on How to Spray Paint Burlap)
- A new paper towel holder– the kind the stand upright by themselves
Begin by covering the snack canisters with the colored burlap. I found burlap ribbon at my local Walmart on clearance, so I stocked up on different colors. Hot glue the burlap to the snack canisters. I used a coordinating stripe in the middle of each canister, too.
Hot glue the canisters to the upright paper towel holder. Be sure to apply hot glue at all contact points to secure them.
Add supplies, candy, and goodies for a special teacher. The upper portion of the paper towel holder doubles as a handle for the caddy!
These are cute! We have dozens of those containers saved from the puffs. I’m planning on making some crayon containers now! 🙂
Super cute, I love that’s its a useful gift!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great idea!! What a fun gift for a teacher!
Thank you!
Love colored burlap! So cute!
Thanks, Amy!
This is so funny… I was cleaning up some of my craft supplies just a couple of hours ago and found some of my burlap and was just thinking I could make something like this for caddies… They would work wonderfully in my craft room to hold all the little stuff and pieces of material that I don’t want to throw away… Pinning this.
I love repurposing into storage! Turning trash into treasure!
Omgsh this is the cutest idea!!!
What a fun idea, love it!
What a supper cute gift! I love homemade gifts!
Super clever, Melanie! What a positive effort, also- thanks for sharing!
Simple, quick and easy to make. My perfect kind of cute gift!
What teacher wouldn’t love this?
Melanie, this is such a great idea for not only a teacher but it would also make a great Father’s Day gift! LOVE it!
Thanks, Marilyn! I never thought about it for Father’s Day, but that is a great idea.
Beautifully done! As a teacher, I can definitely say that you can never have enough caddies for classroom supplies!
This is a CUTE craft. It turns into so much more!
I think I’m going to have to make these for my craft room! Love it!
So cute! I bet all the teachers at my kids school would love this!
The scratches were a little more difficult. Some of them were pretty deep. I sanded as much as I could, but I would have had to sand a lot of the wood away if I was going to get it as smooth as possible. I left it like this and thought it would work out okay.
