I needed pens for the baby shower games and wanted a fun way to incorporate the hot pink zebra theme. I wanted it to be cute, but I also wanted it to be cheep thrifty. I decided to recycle a few cans for the project. I think these were from stewed tomatoes.
Step one: cut off the top, wash, dry, cover in duct tape.
I placed the tape inside the can and overlapped the top to protect from any sharp edges.
It's not cute if it cuts!
It's not cute if it cuts!
Covered the entire can with layer #1.
Then repeated the process using zebra duct tape for layer #2. I used 2 layers of tape because it made it look like a container and not so much like a tapped up can.
starting to look cute!
neat and clean!
even the bottom got a layer.
That step is all done
now just add a bow! How cute is that!
The pens were super easy too. I took black pens and taped 2 to 3 pink feathers on the lid with the same zebra tape.
nothing fancy to make but the look is!
Now I have 3 pen holders full of fun and wacky zebra pens
They looked really cute on the stationary table.
I think this is a great little project for the home, office, school, whatever! What do you think?
