Happy Friday everyone! Today is the day when I get really excited about hitting garage sales on Saturday. Although my son and I did make it to about fifteen today and found something amazing that nearly tried to pinch my finger to death. More on that later.
So I was looking at my Bartons tin (I posted about it here), and wondering what I was going to do with it. It couldn’t just take up real estate on my desk and not serve a purpose. That’s when I realized instead of having all of my office supplies shoved in a drawer in the closet I could make this tin über functional.
The only supplies you’ll need are some scraps of matboard or other heavy material, an X-acto knife or utility knife, and a tin.
First, cut two pieces to the diameter and height of your tin. Then, cut two thin slits halfway up the the middle that are roughly the thickness of your matboard. With a little bit of trimming they will fit together like this:
Then pop it in to your tin:
And fill it with whatever nonsense you want.
My fairly-organized soul is quenched, and I get to keep this tin on my desk and know it’s serving a functional purpose. Mission accomplished in under five minutes.
