PENCIL HOLDER

Send

I suggest you make a stand for pencils with your own hands. Moreover, it can be done together with your child (if there is one and has reached the age when you can not be afraid to give scissors and glue to your hands).
So let's get started! You and I will need quite a few, quite ordinary things: tubes of toilet paper and paper towels, thick cardboard, colored paper, scissors, glue, scotch tape and ribbons with pebbles for decoration.
Take the tubes and cut them so that we get three different sizes. Next, we cut a stand out of thick cardboard. I have it square, but you can make any other shape. To look better, wrap it with beautiful paper using double-sided tape. You can use glue, it is who loves more.

Well, sir, the foundation is ready. We take the tubes and glue them with colored paper. In any way known to you. Note that you don’t have to process them inside, the manufacturers of paper towels have tried for us. The simplest gift wrapping paper has been used here. Her there are many options for colors and shades. And you can use the wallpaper remaining after the repair, if any were lying somewhere on the mezzanine.

Done. Next, we connect our tubes with a stand. This is the most crucial moment, since it is necessary to connect it tightly and carefully so that it is not embarrassing for the seam, and so that the tube still stands in its place. I used hot glue.

And then the most creative part of the work begins. We will decorate our stand! Here you are limited only by your imagination. You can use whatever you want - sequins, ribbons, figures, pebbles, shells, etc. The main thing is to adhere to the chosen direction. I decided to use ribbons. It doesn’t look bad, but it seemed a little and glass pebbles were used.
