Customize any tool caddy for Father's Day and you'll be sure to please your Pop!  The best part of a generic tool caddy is that you can turn it into any "special" type of caddy.  If your Dad is a golfer, you have an instant golf caddy - add golf balls, tees and fresh new pair of golfing gloves - even a day at his favorite course! If he loves to tinker on his car, add oil, a car wash gift certificate and car fresheners.  The BBQ King will be thrilled with new grill tools, mesquite coals and a few bottles of BBQ sauce!  For the wood working Dad - add pencils, wood glue and spray paints and varnishes!  We made a special "Can Organizer" out of soup cans and then glued them together with Gorilla Glue which we then added in as a special gift!  For our Tool Caddy we used Rust-Oleum's Painter's Touch 2 X in Gloss Deep Blue, the soup can organizer in GlossMeadow Green and the handle in Aluminum.  The high end decorations on the front are simple nuts and washers from your local home/hardware center.  They were about 30 cents a piece!  We glued them together first with the Gorilla Glue and then once the tool caddy was fully cured, we glued them directly onto the front!  What a great impact and it looks sharp!   Happy Father's Day - sit back, enjoy and relax!

Angie's philosophy is simple: take on projects that are affordable and easily achievable. Look for inspiration in magazines and make the projects your own. Hers are real projects for real people and they don't require you to have a background in art. Test
