Here is a clever crayon caddy for you to make for a special friend, a sibling or yourself. You will need to eat through a real cake from a bakery or grocery store in order to recycle the plastic cake container though. But that's fun too!
The supplies you will need for this adorable DIY are: paper mache pulp, acrylic paints, air dry clay, chocolate/candy molds, masking tape, Mod Podge and a recycled cake container shaped just like a real cake.

Hopefully, your little one will be inspired to clean-up more often, if they are rewarded with an adorable cake with candles every time they color.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Clean a recycled, plastic cake container.
- Cover the entire outside dome with masking tape.
- Using a pencil, mark then cut the holes for the top of this caddy craft at the top of the dome. I cut five holes.
- Shape air dry clay using chocolate molds. Let these decorative dry completely and then glue them to the surface of the cake wherever you would like.
- Cover the remaining dome surface using paper mache pulp. Mix and apply this pulp according to the directions by the manufacturer. The faux cake dome should be left in the warm sunshine and given ample time to harden. Depending on where you live, this drying time could take a couple of days or even a week.
- Paint the surface of the faux Birthday cake however you like using acrylic paints.
- Seal the surface with Mod Podge.
