Step One: Obtain a lazy susan. I got mine from Ikea for $7.99. 
Step Two: Paint it it with good ol' spray paint. I start at the bottom, get the edges and about an inch in so that it looks good when you flip it over. Paint the top and you should have something fabulous looking like THIS when you are done.
Step Three: Buckets, baby. You can find these cute pails everywhere. I got mine at the Dollar Spot at Target. Half off, course. The best thing about Ikea's lazy susan is that you can fit seven buckets on it!
Step Four: Arrange your buckets on top. I put mine roughly an inch from the edge.
Step Five: Lightly trace the circumference of the bottom of the bucket. After you do that, ERASE THE LINE so that only the very lightest, hard to see line is there.
Step Six: Glue that puppy down! I use E 6000 for all of my gluing needs. If you do not have this glue, you truly can't call yourself a crafter. (Ok, you can, but seriously, it is sooo worth the buy!) Anyhoo, just apply the glue along the edge the bottom of the bucket and then carefully set it down on your erased down line.

That is so cute! What a great idea! I love those Target buckets, I have about 20, and I know what i'm going to do with 7 of them :)
Awesome! I have to agree with you, I think yours is better! Thanks for sharing.
lovin it. I am glad I found you!
Unbelievably cute! Guess I need some buckets and a trip to Ikea.
This is such a great project!! I just bought a lazy susan from the Goodwill a few weeks ago and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it! Really great project. Thanks!
Oh so clever! I've stared at that art caddy wondering if there was a cheaper way to make it! Next time I'm at Ikea I know what to pick up! Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome project. I've been wondering what I could make for my bff/neighbor's boys, this would be perfect :-) thanks so much for sharing.
I like yours better!!! Lots of PB knock-offs this week...I love it. :) Visiting from Kimba's party. :)
This is perfect! My kids so need this. Thank you.
This is SOO cute!! And I love that yours has more buckets!
I love this. What a great gift too.
Wow. Nice work Crafty girl. I think I need to take a trip to IKEA. Thanks for the great idea.
I absolutely love it! I really wish we had an IKEA in Vermont! My friend goes there all the time in CT and tells me how great it is.
What a great idea! That would look so cute on my craft table - thanks for the inspiration! And I already had an IKEA trip planned for this week..
Have a great day!!

That is seriously cool! I just so happen to have one of those Ikea lazy susan's, E6000 glue, and spray paint...now, all I need are the buckets. Thanks for sharing!
what a cute idea!! I'm going to save this for when I have someplace to put one of these
Just want to say I love this idea and I'm linking this tutorial to my blog. Thanks for sharing!
PS - I love your blog.
Oh I need one of those! I have all my tools in several different ceramic mugs. This would be the perfect idea to corral them all together. Thanks so much for sharing.

Okay that's adorable! And I just love your sassy attitude! :)
Ooooo! That would be a great teacher gift! I would use that in my classroom, for sure!!!
@cheapchichome. This is very cute. I wonder if it would sort Polly Pocket gear...
It's great! Thanks for sharing.

great idea!!! you just gave me a great idea for a double tiered "spinnie" thing i have. thanks so much for sharing!! i don't have that e6000 stuff, so i'll have to run out and get some.
i love your last comment! it made me bust out laughing! :o) how many craft sisters feel that way when we recreate something??? you're too funny girl!
Love this idea...my hubby's mother just gave us a lazy susan that he made in high school. I told her to throw it away, I didn't want it. My girls snatched it up from her...and now I fully intend on using it to make THIS! GREAT IDEA!

how cute is that.. looks great!
I like yours better too!!! Great job.
Love it, love it, love it!! I have always been drawn to the PB one also but $49 is too much. Thank you for the inspiration! Loving your blog!
Super cute idea! It turned out so colorful and fun...and we all love a project that is a fraction of the inspiration piece price!
cute cute!!
Love it, love it, love it! What a fantastic idea!
Holly cow this idea is smokin hot!

LOVE this idea!!! Definitely going to try this one. Hope I can find little buckets (baby!) at the same price. TFS
I've been looking for an inexpensive lazy susan -- I keep forgetting about IKEA. Thanks so much for this great idea & tute!
This is such a cute idea. I am thinking this would be a really nice teacher appreciation gift. It is always so hard to come up with tokens for the great teachers we have in this world.
My very favorite part? "Eat that, PBK!" :>) Love this idea, and I linked to it on my weekly roundup. Thanks SO much!!
I am a homeschooling momma, and I need this. Thank you so much sharing. HAPPY NEW YEAR
This is lovely! The buckets were an inspired find, too.
I'm shopping for this stuff tonight. My daughter's craft table looks like something exploded on it and needs some SERIOUS organizational help. I'm also thinking this would be a great gift for birthday parties! THANKS!
Love it. awesome idea, thanks!
love this! thanks for the awesome idea, going to go shopping now!
