15 Minute Brick Supply Holder

I have all these small supplies, but where oh where do I put them all? I'm too broke to purchase a glorious supply organizer.
My old containers keep breaking and I lose my stuff! What a sad day for creativity.....
If only I had a heavy-duty supply holder made out of a brick or something with conveniently drilled holes to store them all....Hmmmmm....

Gather Your Resources.

1) Brick.

2) Drill

3) Pencil

Better write this list down before you forget.

Step 1: Find Your Brick

You can buy one at the store, but it will never have as much character as one that has been used. I found mine on the street. There are plenty of bricks wherever there is any sort of industrial activity going on. :)

Step 2: Drop It on the Ground

Not on your foot.

Step 3: Identify Your Favorite Piece

Drill Your Holes

Drill using a small masonry bit first - once you have that hole drilled in, you can use it as a guide for your larger hole. HOLEy moly this step was easy! Eh Eh Eh?

Use It!

Wow! Look how free my hands are now!  And I didn't have to purchase an organizer to do it!  So glad I don't have to carry all these tools around anymore! Now what do I do about this brick....

Thanks for reading! :)
