I wanted more surface space on my polymer clay desk so I decided to put the tools that were in a broken coffee mug up on the wall in front of me. I think the solution I came up with turned out super cute and thought this would make a good blog post. So I made two more and took some step by step shots.
This is what I used to make it....
- Toilet Paper Roll
- Scrap Cardboard
- Thumb Tacks
- Craft Knife
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Decorative Paper (I used 3 sheets from the K&C Company "Sweet Nectar" Adhesive Mat Pad so I didn't need to use glue)
I drew two lines about 1" apart on the tube then used the craft knife to score those lines- don't cut through. I use the score lines to kind of flatten the part that will go against the wall
2) I used some scrap cardboard to make the bottom. I traced the shape and cut outside the line to make sure it was big enough to cover the base. I used the hot glue to attach it and trimmed the extra with the scissors.

3) I covered the tube with the adhesive paper and then stuck two thumb tacks through the back so I could mount it on the wall.
Super quick and easy right?
I did something similar with coffee containers for one of my other craft tables.
