So I was feeling a bit crafty over the weekend and I decided to share it with whomever is reading out there. It's a simple and fun way to create a cute pencil cup or to hold pretty much anything!
So I started by just cleaning and de-labeling an empty soup can, grabbed scissors and some rough yarn. You can use any color yarn or string that you find suitable for your object!
Then I began to wrap the string around the base of the can. You can use hot glue to hold the end in place, but this was very spontaneous for me so I just decided to wrap it under. Leave a little bit out because we will use it to tye the bow at the end
(not necassary if you use hot glue.)
Remember to pull tight as you go around and around. But don't pull to hard or else the string will move out of place.
And Viola! For me, I put my wine bottle corks in the crafted soup can.
( I'm saving them all for another craft I plan to do for my wedding reception)
You can place any small item that you have a large amount of in this
re-furbished soup can!!
It took me about 20 minutes to finish and tye the bow. Oh! I also trimmed all the extra fly aways fromt this particular twine, just to make it look neat.
