Inspired by addictive blog Apartment Therapy – and an OCD-need to keep my pens in separate homes – I set out recently to make my own pen holders:

• One for pencils
• One each for blue, black and red pens
• One for highlighters
• One for Sharpies

…you get the sorry idea.

What do you think?

From humble cans of coconut milk to centre stage and totally useful.

Get your own:

1. Choose some wrapping paper or something delightful
2. Measure the can’s circumference & height, cut your paper to size
3. Stick a length of double-sided tape to one edge of the paper & wrap around
4. Seal the other end of paper to the can with some more tape

2 minutes flat!

(If I had a little more Martha in me [Blue Peter skills for Brits] I might change them up for the seasons. I’ll leave that up to you!)
