How do you organize your art supplies? I’ve got a shoebox full of crayons and markers and colored pencils sitting on my work table, and while it works great for keeping them corralled in one place, it’s not really what I would call “organized.” To me, organized means not having to spend 10 minutes digging around to find the specific item I am looking for. It would be much easier to sort through the mess if it were in something like this art supply caddy by Morena at Morena’s Corner! Essentially a multi-teired pencil cup, she assembled it using items rescued from the recycling bin. Not only is this a great idea for at home, it is also an excellent project for in the classroom!
