Supplies

I've always been a fan of See Jane Work.  The company specializes in designer/adorable/affordable office supplies.  I was perusing the site today and found two items that you could make at home for very little money.

First up, Day of the Week clips.  All you need for this one are clothespins, glue (or decoupage) and markers (or a color printer).  I think these would be handy for grouping your to-do-lists, coupons, etc. by what day in which you will need them.  For a tutorial on decorative clothespins, visit http://blogs.babycenter.com/life_and_home/crafty-clothespins/.

Second on the list is the pencil cup.  This can be made by recyling used tin cans, or by purchasing an empty paint can at any hardware store.  Simply wrap the can with cute paper (I recommend cutting scrapbook paper to fit) and either tape or glue the seam closed. Turn the seam to the back and you are all set!  To simply purchase these already made, click on the links below is each photo.
