As I have mentioned in earlier posts, my hubs and I teach a Sunday School class (Young Love) and our new classroom recently underwent a redecorating project (a post about that is in the works).   One of the final projects was to provide a supply of pencils on each table. We needed: 1) cheap or free supplies 2) the décor to coordinate with the room. 3) the pencil cans to display a table number This is where my stash of saved empty cans came in handy! =) Using 2 rolls of fringed burlap...bought at half price at Hobby Lobby ($4 a roll...$2 half price), I used my Cricut Expression 2 to cut out numbers 1-9. These were used as stencils instead of using the actual number that was cut out.  First, I placed the stencil on the burlap and used a sponge dabber dipped in paint to create the number in the middle of the length of burlap.    Second, after drying I simply wrapped the burlap around the cans, securing it with a line of hot glue on the back.  It was as simple as that! And this is how they look in the classroom:    Goal accomplished...minimal cost, functional and coordinates well with the room! Inspired, Dawn |
