Get Crafty: From Bucket to Art Caddy

By American Profile on February 17, 2016

Time to organize your craft corner! This simple caddy will help corral stray markers, pencils and crayons.

 

 

What You Need:

5 metal buckets: 1 extra large (8-inch diameter x 4 1/2-inch tall) A; 1 medium (6-inch diameter x 4-inch tall) B; 1 small (4 x 4-inch) C; 1 extra small (2 x 2-inch) D; 1 medium tall (4-inch diameter x 6-inch tall) E

Heavy-duty craft glue appropriate for metal (like E6000 Permanent Craft Adhesive)

 

 

How To:

1. Glue the small bucket C upside down and centered inside the extra large bucket A.
2. Then glue the medium bucket B to the top of the upside-down bucket, creating a second tier. Glue the extra-small bucket D upside down, inside and centered on the medium bucket.

3. Glue the medium tall bucket E centered on top of the upside down bucket on the second tier. Follow the glue instructions for drying times.
