This stylish rope can would look great in your kitchen, bathroom or office!

Materials Needed

• Metal can(s)
• Glue gun
• Rope

Craft Instructions

• Starting at the bottom of the can, glue around 1/3 of the can.
• Lay on the rope, pressing down so it sticks.
• Continue gluing at 1/3 can increments, and press rope up and around the entire can. (*Tip* we found pressing the glue gun tip slightly to the can made a thinner line of glue, and didn’t ooze out between the rope layers!)
• When you reach the top, cut off approximately 3/4 of extra rope leaving a small tail.
• Wrap tail over lip, down into the can
• Hot glue rope tail inside can.

In the video above, we show you how to make a rope can for your desk to hold all of your pens, pencils, scissors or whatever else may need holding. However, this rope can is very versatile. The next one I make will be a make-up brush holder!

What will yours hold?
