How To Make A Paper Roll Pencil Holder
Whether your desk is in a state of organized chaos or straight-up messy, get creative and make a home for your loose pens and pencils with a little paper towel roll craft. This nifty desk organizer is super simple to make and should take you all of 10-20 minutes.
What You’ll Need:
- Empty Bounty paper towel roll
- Cardboard
- Scissors
- Tissue paper (colored or patterned)
- Glue
- Decorative tape
Instructions:
-
Start by cutting your empty Bounty paper towel rolls in half so you have 3-5 tubes depending on how many you’d like for your paper pencil holder.
-
Grab your tissue paper then measure and cut enough to wrap around each roll individually 3-4 times. Take your craft glue, apply to the back of the tissue paper and wrap around each of the rolls. Leave to dry.
-
Once dry, create a base for your paper roll craft pencil holder. Take your sheet of cardboard and stand all your rolls together in a cluster then draw and cut out your desired shape. It could be square, round, wonky…whatever you like, as long as it’s big enough to house all your rolls.
-
Cover the base with glue and layer 3-4 times with tissue paper.
-
Once dry, grab your decorative tape to line the edges of each individual roll and your base so they’re finished with a colorful trim (it also hides any rough edges).
-
Time to put it together! Arrange your tubes on the base and glue into place – hold each one for about 10 seconds so it’s secure.
-
Fill with your pencils and pens!
