the jar we had been keeping our pens and scissors in at school (for teacher use) broke leaving us with a pile of writing implements with no home. a skinny jar was salvaged from the recycling to temporarily house them but i needed something more attractive, of course. ;)
enter this sweater sleeve (pictured inside out here). using a can as a guide, i cut the sleeve to fit snugly over the can. ***i used an eden organics can as they are the only ones that i am aware of that are bpa-free.***
then i needle felted a pair of toadstools on the sleeve and pulled it over the can. instant makeover! i am going to make lots more of these in many colors and designs. a fast and easy makeover and you could use the can for so many organizational solutions!oh sweater sleeves, how i love thee. there are seemingly infinite ways to use thee.
I love it. The mushrooms are so pretty and they go well with the brown background. It's nice to see that you were able to take a mug and not only use it to hold pencils, scissors and pens. You were also able to make it beautiful.
