Hi everyone :-)
Here is a tutorial on how to make a spinner desktop organizer made out of toilet paper rolls. used the beautiful an ABC primer collection from Graphic 45 and I am so happy they have made a Deluxe collector edition with this paper line. It has so many gorgeous images to fussy cut out :-)
Made this for G45 Facebook February organizer challenge and if you like to participate make an organizer project with G45 papers and upload a photo to they`r FB page to get the chance to win $ 75 prize package.here is the link to they`r FB page,

Label it February Challenge. Good luck to everyone :-)
Used 12 toilet paper rolls for this desktop organizer but you can also use kitchen towel paper rolls.
This was so fun to make and this will make a great gift for a child tat begins in school or as a teacher gift.
This has a Lazy Susan bearing under so it can spin around but this can also be made as a square standing in your craft room or work space.
Would also be fun to make this as a baby shower gift with the new precious memories from G45 and fill it with some baby powder, brushes and more :-)
Here are some close up pictures.
I glued some of the images together before I glued them down on black cardstock with multi medium matte

The blue images I colored in with a green pencil to change the color. Show how to in the video.

Curled some borders from the paper line random around the desktop organizer and made sure all the storage "rooms" still had easy access.
All the images are fussy cut out and edged with a black Zig pen. Then glued on black cardstock with multi medium matte to make them strong. Then I cut a bit on the outside of the image to create a more depth in the scene.So fun to puzzle the images together into a scenes :-)
What goodies are you eating little friend?
I am eating porridge. Do you want some?
Some times it is hard to learn and...

Have some clips glued on clocks fastened around to hold some notes.
He is trying to change the time but he does not understand that the moment is now :-)
Here are some pictures with accessories inside the organizer.
Seen from the other side.
When we don`t have the tool we need we have to make some ourselves :-)
Measured up 1 1/4 on each side and cut of.
in progress
Also made a little booklet to go with it.
Had a leftover chipboard frame that I glued on the back.
Frame inside to ad a photo.
All the blue images I changed the color to green by using a pencil and a blender pen.

Rotates around and...
This can be made with many different papers and for different purposes. It can be made in a many style for men tools, Steampunk, Knitting and crochet tools with the yarn ball in the middle, baby cream, brush and baby powder,TV control and pencils in the living room and of course in your craft room.
Think I will make many more of this later and i would also be great to make with some laces and bling for a shabby chic style :-)
