Pencil Holder DIY Ideas
We love DIY School Supplies and Desk tidies. And one thing we love making over and over is a pencil holder DIY. We have made a number of different types of pencil holders in the past – some from juice cartons, others from TP Rolls, however have a particular favourite the Tin Can Pencil Holder (as you will see below).
Desk Tidues and Pencil Holder Crafts
Though we love ALL upcycled Pencil Holders, the tin can method really is so quick and easy and looks so effective. And tin cans just seem to be the right size for pens and pencils. So, though we want to share a variety of pen pots with you today, there is a slight bias towards the tin cans. I hope you will enjot them as much as we do!
First up, Easy Tin Can Pen Pots
