If you love coloring books as much as I do, you probably have a lot of different supplies that you use. Why not make a cute little portable case to keep them all together. Plus it’s easy to take with you so you can color wherever you go.

Step
1

Trace the bottom of the metal tin onto a piece of felt. Trim the felt slightly smaller so that it will fit nicely in the bottom. You can just place the felt at the bottom or secure it with an adhesive.

Pick out a few supplies that will fit nicely inside the lid, then attach magnets to the backs of them. The mini set of Stabilo fine point markers fit perfectly along with a fruity pencil sharpener.

Choose a favorite page from a coloring book that you have colored and trace the shape of the metal tin onto it. Trim it so that it fits perfectly on the front lid. Repeat this step for the back as well. Then attach the pages with Mod Podge or another adhesive.
