Tin Cans: storing pens

I have been using tin cans for storing the boys coloured pens and pencils for a while now, all I did was remove the outside labels and taped (double sided) scrapbooking paper round them. I used various sizes to suit the different lengths of the pens.

Yesterday, it suddenly came to me that I should use wool. I have heaps of yarn for the knitting I haven't done!!

So here is one that I just simply wrapped with twine using a bit of glue and then carried on wrapping using wool. I found that with wool I didn't need to use glue just tucked it in and wrapped over the ends with the tool itself.

Ta da....
