Lady attaches empty tin coffee cans to spinning lazy susan hardware. This handy setup is a fantastic upgrade for the kitchen

Transform your kitchen with this DIY rotating utensil caddy, perfect for organizing and accessing your cooking tools with ease. This project repurposes empty tin coffee cans and combines them with spinning lazy susan hardware to create a functional and stylish storage solution.

This DIY utensil caddy is ideal for kitchens with limited counter space or for those who appreciate a touch of rustic charm. The metallic sheen of tin cans combined with the sleek motion of the lazy susan adds both practicality and an industrial chic aesthetic to your kitchen decor.

5 empty tin coffee cans, cleaned and labels removed

Begin by cleaning the tin coffee cans thoroughly and removing any labels. Sand any rough edges with medium grit sandpaper.

Apply a coat of metal primer to the outside of each can and allow it to fully dry. This will help the paint adhere better.

If desired, spray paint the cans with a metallic color of your choice for a polished look. Let them dry completely.

Place the wooden board on a flat surface. Position the lazy susan hardware on the underside of the board and mark the screw holes using a pencil.

Drill pilot holes into the marked spots on the wooden board, then attach the lazy susan hardware using screws.

Flip the board so the lazy susan hardware is on the bottom. Arrange the tin cans in a circle on the top side of the board.

Once satisfied with the arrangement, mark the positions of the cans. Drill a small hole near the bottom of each can where it will attach to the board.

Secure each can to the board by drilling screws through the holes in the cans into the board.

Test the lazy susan to ensure it spins smoothly with the weight of the cans attached.

For a personalized touch, you can paint the tin cans in different colors to match your kitchen decor. Alternatively, use decorative paper or fabric to wrap the cans for added texture and color. If you prefer a more uniform look, opt for matching spray paint for both the cans and the wooden base. Consider using different sized cans for varied storage options, or add labels to each can for organized storage.
