One of my favorite things to do is wander around a store, and find items to reinvent for a DIY project. I was recently looking for some bookends for my desk that would double as a pen/pencil holder, I was not finding exactly what I wanted, so decided to get creative. After perusing each section, I emerged with two toothbrush holders and cork coasters. When combined they created the perfect bookends, with slots for my writing supplies and my beloved succulents, plus a bonus memo board for daily reminders! Have you ever reimagined an everyday item, I would love to hear about it! Steps and supplies after the break…
