UpCycling - Pen/Pencil Holder

I've been staring at this coffee can that held a bunch of pens behind my sink for months.  I never seem to have the time to craft so I finally found a minute and created a new pen holder.

Supplies:
Old Coffee Can
Pair of old kid's jeans
Left over felt
Hot glue gun

First, cut off a piece of the jean leg enough to cover your can.

Trace the bottom of the can over the felt and cut out the circle.
That piece of felt will cover the bottom of the can.

Bottom with felt circle

I placed my can in the pant leg and hot glued a little over hang over the top (inside) the can.
Then I cut off any excess on the bottom and hot glued it in place.
I covered the ugly bottom with some felt (see above).

I cut a piece of the pant leg off about 2 inches wide.
I hot glued the piece of jean to the sides forming a square.
I did this because I didn't want all my pens and pencils hitting each other.
