Cheap DIY Art Carousel

I seem to be having the biggest problem with my dog lately. When I go outside to pick up his naughty poops I find heaps of crayon bits in them! Sorry TMI I know! Its just so freakin frustrating to finally find out where all the crayons are disappearing to! So I figured if I made a designated area for all daily art supplies then my gross curious little dog won't easily find his favorite colored, waxy snack.
 
Thats when this little helper came in the picture:
 
 
This was a total last minute project. Which means I didn't go out and buy anything. I had the plastic lazy susan ( that I got for a $1 at Honks) in my craft room and I wasn't really using it. Mod Podged some vintage fabric that I thrifted to it.
 
The aluminum cans were old peanut cans that I was saving for I don't know what reason! Sheeesh once you become a crafter it ultimately means you are a hoarder too! Anywhoo I just modpodged some leftover scrapbooking paper to those two.
 
The yellow, plastic vintage mugs I thrifted for my girls to play with in their kitchen. They have so much play pots and dishes I figures I could use em:)
 
Pretty easy and fits all there little art supplies.
 
 
Once I set it out they were excited to get started:)
 
 
Fits nice and perfect on this little shelf that I rescued and painted. Can you believe this shelf used to be one of those cheesy, black laminated shelves?
 
 
Take that Toby! No more crayons for you!;o)
 
Thanks for dropping by!
