"Tin Can Organizer"
After see this project on Pinterest,
I had to give it a try...........
Here is how I did it:
I gathered the following (as shown):
Empty Paint can6 different sized tin cans
12 each: bolts, washers, nuts (2 for each can)
1 large nail
Hammer
Drill
Sharpie (for marking where to drill holes)
Drill bits: 1 smaller and 1 the same size or a little larger then the size of my bolt
First, I marked where I wanted my holes to be on the tin cans:
Next, using my nail and hammer, I punctured holes in the tin can where I had marked for holes:
Then, using the smaller bit, I enlarged each hole with my drill just enough to get my larger bit to fit inside and create a hole that fits the bolt:
I chose to paint all the cans and bucket different colors instead of decorating with paper, but whichever fits your own style definitely works:
if you have a plastic lazy susan you could glue it to the bottom of the large can or just set it on top of your work surface. this makes it a little easier to access whats inside. i do it with the 5 gallon bucket tool organizers. makes finding the tool you need a lot easier. spin away.
