Pencil Holder

Need to do something with old soup cans? Now you "can" make a pencil holder with it!

Rating: EASY
Adult Supervision Required? NO

What you need

  • Old soup or fruit can (top removed)
  • Paint, stickers or markers
  • Paint brush
  • Tape
  • Ribbons, yarn or string for decoration
  • Pencils, pens and markers

How to make it

  1. Make sure your can is clean and dry. 

  2. If the top edge is sharp, place tape around it.

  3. Decorate your can with paint, stickers or markers. Maybe try a design, a pattern or your name. Allow it to dry overnight. Tie a ribbon or yarn around it if you wish.

  4. Once your can has dried, fill with pencils, pens and markers or whatever else you like. You now have your own personal pencil holder!
