Wrapping Center Organizer

You’ll need:

* Kitchen stool. Keep your eyes open for one at the thrift store or yard sales. I used a stool we had but were no longer using. I actually bought it a few years ago at Walmart for about $20.  

* Fabric: To make two larger bags and two smaller bags like I did you are going to need about 2 1/2 yards of fabric or one $5 twin flat sheet from Walmart. Of course you will need more fabric depending on the size of your stool and the design of your fabric chosen. Read below to see how to determine the amount of fabric needed.

* 4 Casters. You can buy these at any hardware store.

* 2 packages of bias tape or about 4 yards of homemade bias tape. (Of course you could use ribbon as well.) And really the amount needed depends on how long your want your ties to be.

Pretty Fabric or Paper Pens

Here is a super easy, super cheap way of customizing your own pens! Keep reading to find out how.
 

 What you will need:

 • Biros
 • Patterned Paper or fabric
 • Scissors
 • Double sided tape 
 
 Directions 
 
 
 Unscrew the biro so that you are just left with the inside part.
 
 
 
 Cut a rectangle of fabric the length of the inner tube and approx 2cm wide. Cover the fabric with the double sided sticky tape then carefully wrap this around the inner tube by rolling it, making sure it is all securely stuck down.
 
 
It should look like this ^
 
 
Then simply screw it back together!
