I think that’s a fair price, don’t you?.

Now we’ll always be able to find enough pencils, erasers, rulers, etc.AND, they’ll look cute too!.It started out like this: We had this brown remote control caddy that we never used.
It’s one of those ones with slots for family pictures all around and it turns too, making everything easy to access..I was inspired by these lazy susans from Pottery Barn Kids and thought I could make this into something similar that I would love almost as much as I love the real thing..

These particular parts worked well for 2 main reasons.First, the upper and lower rails were very close to square and secondly, the spindles were not wider than these upper and lower rails.. (These are the ideal dimensional consistencies to work with and require no modifications.
If the spindles are wider than the rails, the rails will need to be widened using strips of wood or if the rails are round or curved then straight strips of wood would need to be attached.).For this tutorial I will refer to these as “crib sides” however, you may find other reclaimed materials that meet the above criteria regardless of their use in a previous life.. For our project we used the following hardware:.
