Rainbow tin can as a pencil storage

April is a month of sunshine, rain and rainbows.
It’s also a month of experimenting and in that particular case I thought of a new idea to remake tin cans into a pencil storage. For this little project I used nothing else but colorful straws. 
I love how this can has such a lovely, rainbow look.

Step by step

Step 1 Cut the straw to the length of the can.
Step 2 Use it as a measure to cut all the other straws. (about 50 straws)
Step 3 Apply an even and generous amount of mod podge on the can. 
              Wait couple of minutes for the mod podge to become ‘sticky’.
Step 4 Place your first straw on the can and press it to the can.

Step 4 Apply a bit of mod podge on the side of  the first straw.
              Place second straw next to it, gluing it to the can and to the first straw.
              Reapet with all the other straws.
Step 5 You might want to place some heave object inside your tin can to keep it in one place 
              (I used a hammer)
Step 6 When all your straws are in place, put something around them i.e hair bands to keep
              them attached to the can.
