Messy Desk Makeover!

What you need:

-          Two empty soup cans

-          One empty tuna can

-          Decorative paper

-          Craft glue

-          Elastic bands

-          Ribbon

What you do:

First, make sure all the cans are clean and dry. Next, cut three pieces of decorative paper to the same height as the cans, and wide enough to wrap around each can with a little overlap. Starting with one can, spread glue on the overlapping edge of the paper, wrap the paper around the can and press the edge shut. Use an elastic band to hold the paper in place until the glue dries. Repeat with the two other cans.

When the glue has dried, remove the elastic bands from the two larger cans and run a bead of glue down the seams, then press them together. Again, secure them with elastic bands until the glue dries. With the seam inward, attach the tuna can to the two other cans with craft glue and secure them all with an elastic band.

When all the glue has dried, remove the elastic band and secure the three cans with a decorative ribbon. Now you have an attractive organizer to help keep your desk in order. You can keep pencils and pens close at hand in the larger cans, and erasers, thumbtacks and paper clips in the smaller can.
