Rustic Recycled Aluminum Can Organizer
Starting with the sides of an old barrel, some tin cans, and a couple of screws...

A rustic, recycled organizer is born...
this one sided organizer can sit on a shelf or with a hole drilled into the top can hang on the wall.
As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links that will take you to more information and the products I used for this project. Also the READ MORE sections will take you to related Homeroad projects.
The perfect handle is built into the barrel sides.
The double sided organizer is great for school or craft supplies and can sit out on the table for all to reach.
It is the perfect rustic solution for the homework center.
Or how about one of them as the ever popular silverware caddy.

Is there just the one screw in each can? Are they stabilized at the bottom also, and if so, how?
