Tired of messy desks? Let’s organize your pens in style with a DIY pencil holder you can make in under 30 minutes! I remember making these with my team during a creative workshop, and it was a blast seeing everyone’s unique designs.
You’ll Need: An empty can (coffee, tin, or plastic), decorative paper or fabric, scissors, and glue (Mod Podge or a glue gun).
Let’s Get Crafting:
Clean & Prep: Remove any labels from your can and give it a good wipe down. Let it dry completely.
Measure & Cut: Wrap your paper or fabric around the can to measure the height and circumference. Cut it to size, leaving a tiny overlap.
Stick It: Apply a thin layer of glue to the back of your paper or directly onto the can. Carefully wrap it around, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go.
Seal the Deal (Optional): For a glossy, durable finish, brush a layer of Mod Podge over the paper. This seals it and protects it from wear and tear.
Accessorize! This is where you get creative. Glue on ribbons, buttons, or even twine around the top and bottom edges to hide any rough cuts.
That’s it! You’ve just created a custom organizer that clears clutter and adds a personal touch to your workspace.
