Art supplies are awesome, right! But lets face it, keeping track of all your art supplies can is not awesome. If your writing supplies are always disappearing, or look a hot mess like mine then fear no more, I have your back. I’m hear to show you, the simplest, most inexpensive, and cutest DIY you’ve ever seen!

Lets go from this……………………………………………………………to THIS!

1. Supplies are minimal, a few plumbing pieces (couplings) from the hardware store, they are around  1-2 dollars depending on the size you pick out. Spray paint, I saved money by using the colors I had laying around. Lastly some fun stickers!
2. Clean the plastic pipes so you can get a good even coat of paint.
3. Use stickers to create negative space where you want to see through the paint!
4. Spray paint outside, in light coats of paint so you don’t get drips. Let them chill in the sun until completely dry.
5. Take off the stickers (I used sharp tweezers) to reveal fun shapes underneath!
6. Lastly snap in the base into the bottom of the pipe and fill with your favorite art supplies!

Here are a few extra tips, if you don’t have spray paint you can just put fun on stickers or draw with permanent marker to create your own designs (that’s what I did with the cactus holder up above.) Try mixing up the base colors this will keep your holders looking bright and cheery! One more hint, these make the cutest PLANT POTS!

Here are all the steps in picture form, if you’re a visual person like myself.

Easiest cutest things you have ever done! Now lets see them in action! Send me pictures of the ones you make I would love to see everybody’s take!
