Repurposed Candle Holder

So I have been working on getting my craftroom (at least my half of the room) re-organized and more functional. Though I still LOVE scrapbooking, my new love is jewelry making and I just needed to have my work space more jewelry functional.

As I was thinking about what I wanted in my space, I knew I wanted to have more up on the wall to get it cleared off my desk. You'd think with a six foot by three foot desk I'd have more than enough room to spare!

Here are a couple of my goodwill finds:
I've already shown you what I've done with the art case, the rings and now the candle holder, can you figure out what I'll do with the other two items??

This project was so easy. Basically all I did was clean it up and spray paint it black and hung it on my wall.

It makes a great place for scissors,

pliers, rulers,
it even holds my Crop-a-dile! I love this new piece!

  3. What a great idea for this piece!!! I have a wicker window box that has two little metal rounds on either side and have been wondering what to do with this thing- I think you have just solved the dilemma!! Thanks!
