Art supply caddy

6/7/2015

 

Hey guys! I have been working on painting and planning and figuring out this whole work/art/life balance and it has taken me a few weeks, but I think I have got it.

Maybe.

We will see.

I recently purchased a whole mess of new Sharpie markers and needed a way to move them from room to room (as I am a migratory doodler). I did what any of you would do--I went to the art room and looked at what I already had to work with.

I present to you: a washi tape marker caddy.

There were gaps at the bottom of the box, so I patched them with paper.

Cover the bottom of the box with tape and work up.

Cut the corners and fold them over for a clean look

The trickiest part was the handle. I taped the top and bottom, and then wrapped the middle portion.

All wrapped up. If you wanted to hide the design on the box, you could wrap the whole thing in paper first.
Picture
Now I can take my markers everywhere!
