Salt Can - Pencil Holder

Almost anything i see gives me inspiration to make something creative...my kitchen and pantry, no exceptions. I found this salt carton ready to be trashed the other day....i initially liked the shape and sturdy look so transferred it to my craft storage....there it waited almost 1-2 months until its turn to be transformed.

I used Felt pieces of my color choice
A strong glue
The Hot glue gun
A pair of Scissors

First i removed the label paper from its surface, then i had cut open the lid to create an open container look. Next i started cutting the base felt piece into the necessary dimensions and applied glue to the container base...giving it a few seconds, i laid the purple felt piece on the glued surface without any creases. Then i had cut two other colors of felt pieces in desired shapes and used hot glue gun to stick them as felt - on - felr doesn't stick with ordinary liquid glue. You can use decorative ribbons to finish the edges, but i left it to showcase its original look. Use it as pencil or paint brush holder..due to its light weight, its purpose is limited but it is perfect as a gift to a child.
