DIRECTION:

  • Cut a square piece of cardboard with your decorative scissor to make the base of the pen holder.
  • Attach one end of the toilet roll tube to the cardboard square with a little glue to make base for the pen holder (to close it off). Allow it to dry.
  • If you want, paint the craft sticks whatever color you like. Let them dry. You can also leave the craft sticks in its natural color.

  • Apply glue to one side of the Popsicle stick and attach it to the toilet roll vertically; repeat until the roll is fully covered by the sticks.
  • You can use Glue stick to make it more firm. It should be strong enough to hold  lots of pen and pencils.
  • Leave to dry.
  • You can use it as a vase for fake flowers or a pencil holder.IMG_4369
  • Glue some paper flowers or butterflies or any shape to the outside of the Popsicle sticks pen holder to to make it more beautiful. I decorated my Popsicle Sticks Pen Holder with painted Pistachio Shells.
