So after I saw everyone was buying Washi Tape at Target I jumped on board and bought some too. I had the need to try it out, and I really like it. It’s a really quick way to add a pop of color to things. I’ve been saving these tin can’s for my craft room re-do to help organize things. I was planning on painting them, but decided to give the Washi Tape a chance. They turned out great. It was super quick too. I bought the green/teal pack of Washi Tape at Target, you can find these 4 packs of tape in the office supply section for about $4. They also have other coordinating office products next to the tape.
I just wrapped these tin cans up and viola I have inexpensive organization for my desk until the rest of the room is done and I can use them for other things if I want.
These are my favorite colored pencils! I’ve been hoarding them since High School {15 years ago people} because they are too pretty to use…truth is I have a 18″ x 6″ x 8″ box full of them! Lots of delightful colors. Prismacolor makes the best pencils. I finally let Corbyn take a bunch to school and stopped being so selfish. If I didn’t he’d be inheriting them when I die.
This is my little sparrow that sits on my desk a friend gave me.
And if you already have both tin cans & Washi Tape this project is FREE! You could make the kiddo’s some craft storage for their rooms, desk organization for you office at work or home, and if your lucky and get those really big tin cans from Costco or Sams when you buy a gallon of nacho cheese {not that I’ve ever done that} you could totally use this for pantry storage! Ooooh, I’m totally doing that last one! Just thought of that while writing this. The hubby gets huge cans all the time at the restaurant. Score.
Have fun!
SO VERY SIMPLE… YET SO VERY CUTE. I love the colors too. winks, jen
Adorable! I just got some b&w washi tape, but love the colors you’ve used here! Had to smile at the hoarding of the pencils too- I am so the same way! Favorite pretty things become sacred somehow 馃檪 I swear I have fabric I’ll never cut into cuz it’s just too fun to look at! 馃槢 Glad to have stopped by tonight- hope you have a great rest of the week!
These are beautiful! Did you ever go to Chandler First Assembly of God? I think I remember your brother helping in the Youth group (I graduated high school in 2005).
Super cute! I’m also a tin can
“re-purposer”.
I have been saving tin cans or a few months know. Love what you did with them.

So simple and fun! I may have to go and get myself some washi tape 馃檪
I love these! The colour combination is gorgeous. I just found Washi tape for the first time in Canada and am excited to try out all the projects I’ve been seeing. I think I might paint my can first and then wrap my patterned tape in places so that I don’t use it all up 馃檪
