Once you have cut out the top piece, just rinse and clean the can and your good to go. Now since it is an empty can, it is very light and would be helpful if it was some how weighted down. Any suggestions? I tried using playdoh but I just couldn't stand the smell.

You can use it for whatever you like. I find it really useful to keep your pens from being all cluttered every where and it makes them easy to get to.

You can also use it as a mini trash can or even for keeping all your screws, nuts, bolts, and so on that are laying around your working area.

Thanks for checking out my first instructable and I hope you somewhat like it =].

For weighing it down, you could stick some magnets on the bottom, or glue some pennies or washers to the bottom.

A lump of Das Pronto (or other dense modelling clay) in the bottom will help keep it upright.
