Not long ago I was tidying my desk and I found I lot of clutter and rubbish that I didn't really need. Most of it I threw away but for one empty jelly bean pot I had other ideas! It was the right size and shape to hold my make-up brushes. Before I put it into use, I decided to jazz it up a bit and this is how I did it.
I used:
Glue, scissors, a pencil, a ruler, decorative paper and obviously the empty pot of jelly beans (if you are making this you can use any pot it doesn't have to be an old jelly bean one of course:p)
1. I placed the pot onto the paper to mark the length of it. I added a few centimetres more because you don't want to get the exact same size, you need some room for folding and wrapping the paper round.
2. I then wrapped the paper around the pot, again adding a few extra centimetres I marked the width.
3. I used the pencil markings to draw straight lines, outlining what to cut out.
4. Once you have done that, you can go ahead and cut it out.
5. It's time to get glueing!
6. Next place the pot onto the paper leaving a bit of space either side length wise and get rolling it up.
7. Now to deal with the ends what I did was put little slits in the paper about every 1 or 2 cm along each edge. Glue that and fold it down.
8. Ta-dah! It's a really nice way to store your brushes and an affordable way to cutesiefy (yeah I just made up a word) your dressing table.
Thank you for reading!
