I saw this cute idea on Sandy Toes & Popsicles, and immediately thought of my classroom. For years I have been storing scissors, colored pencils, markers and rulers in shoe boxes. For some reason students love to mark and write all over the boxes, and on more than one occasion I have been known to rip the lids off because I was so annoyed by it. So a new idea is welcome.
My biggest expense was a can opener that wouldn't leave a sharp edge ($20 @ Target). I used the spray paint I had, plus a few new cans. As a base I used an old shelf from an entertainment center. 3 edges are unfinished and I will be putting ribbon around the base to make the base look a little more finished.
