The order on the desktop usually does not linger for a long time in either children or adults. The proper organization of space and the workplace will help more effectively organize the work process for adults and teach children to be collected and orderly. A pen and pencil glass will help you organize your writing utensils.
How to store writing instruments
In order for the desk to be in order, you need to purchase or make a glass holder for pens, pencils, scissors and other office supplies. Such a stand allows you to keep the necessary office near, and not look in the drawers, on the shelves. A handmade glass for pens and pencils will be liked by children and motivates them to maintain the working area in order. There are many different ideas on how to make such a stand yourself. Parents can only decide on the material and model and bring it to life with the child. By the way, not everyone knows the name of a glass for pencils and pens. Many people call it just a "glass", but the name "pencil holder" or "desktop organizer for the office" would be more appropriate.
How to do it yourself
Making a glass for pens and pencils with your own hands is not difficult. For the manufacture, you can use the most diverse and unexpected ideas for decor and materials. Most of these crafts will not take much time and are not financially expensive, because it is interesting to decorate a glass with materials that are almost always available in many houses. The pencil can be made of plastic tubes (plumbing), cans, bushes for toilet paper, wood, glass jars, flower pots. Of course, the appearance of a tin can or paper sleeve is not very pretty, the source materials are only blanks and need decoration.
What is needed
To create a glass organizer you will need:
- source materials (cans, bushings, material selected for decoration);
- transparent glue;
- scissors;
- glue gun;
- threads, needles;
- ruler.
When using some materials, other tools may also be required.
Wooden pencil box
A glass for pens and pencils can be made from natural wood itself. To do this, you need a small wooden log cabin in height, in which internal wood (with a chisel) should be removed, giving the appearance of a glass. The workpiece is interesting and original. It does not need unnecessary decor, since the tree itself is an interesting natural decoration material. You can also use the bark of a tree by pasting it with a tin or glass jar. Such a pencil box will also look very unusual and natural.
Dressing can
You can make a glass for pens and pencils yourself using tin cans of coffee drinks and preservation. Such material is tough, durable, and the decor lays on it easily and holds well.
- Knitted cover - from threads with the simplest knitting pattern you can make a cover that perfectly decorates a brutal tin can. For ease of use, so that the knit does not fidget, it can be glued to the bank.
- A rope (twine) is another interesting way of decorating a glass for writing instruments. To do this, we wind the rope or twine on a jar previously lubricated with transparent glue (you can use a glue gun). At the same time, the threads should be tightly joined so that they adjoin each other without gaps. To give a finished look, you can decorate the product with a bow.
- Fabric - from a dense fabric, a rectangle should be cut, wrapping a jar in diameter. Then sew the inside and put on a jar. If desired, the decor can be varied by gluing beads, pebbles, bows. Such pencil boxes in vintage style look very impressive, covered with fabric in combination with lace and satin ribbon.
- Burlap - rough material combined with a strip of linen or chintz fabric and lace will make a tin can a cute decoration of the table and room. At the same time, it is better to stick the burlap to the bank. And then decorate.
- Wallpaper, self-adhesive, scrap paper - to give the appearance of a tin can, you can use any pieces of wallpaper, self-adhesive film and scrapbooking paper. If the surface of the can is corrugated, the pattern may crumple somewhat, so it is better to choose smooth tin cans to make a glass for pencils and pens with your own hands.
Other unusual options
Also interesting ideas are:
- Bushings - do not rush to throw tunnels from under paper towels and toilet paper. They are great for storing pencils and pens on your desk. Decoration options can be different: they can be painted, painted or pasted with corrugated paper.
- PVC tubes - an entire organizer can be made from plumbing tubes by gluing several previously cut bushings onto a board. Before that, they can be decorated with a cloth, beautiful pebbles or spray-painted.
- From pencils - an interesting idea is to decorate a can or sleeve with colored pencils. They should all be equal to the height of the jar. Each pencil should be glued vertically to the jar, firmly pressing to the previous one. Around you can tie a ribbon.
As you can see, everyone can make a glass for pens and pencils, if desired, and ideas can be very diverse. A do-it-yourself glass for stationery will save money and become a cute little thing that helps to maintain order.
