Spice Up Your Pen and Pencil Holder

Turn the ordinary into something extraordinary with this DIY pen and pencil holder.

With this simple but creative project, you can make your desk space a little more special and take personal organisation to the next level.

Make your new craft even brighter and bolder by decorating it with pops of colour using Paper Mate® pens and pencils.

To make your own fun, colourful twist on the ordinary pen and pencil holder, you will need a few materials: one Ball® Mason Jar, scissors, ribbon or string, double-sided tape and paper.

1. Take a piece of paper and wrap it around a Ball® Mason Jar
2. With scissors, cut the paper into a strip, depending on preferred size
3. Decorate the paper strip as you wish
4. Using double-sided tape, attach the paper around the jar or can
5. Tie ribbon or string around the edge of the jar or can for a decorative touch

Customise your creative pencil and pen holder by drawing intricate designs, adding hand lettering, writing inspirational quotes, or drawing your name on the paper strip.

There’s no wrong way to decorate your new craft: outline letters and add doodles using a Clearpoint® Color Mechanical Pencil or add details with the Flair® Ultra-Fine Pen. The possibilities are endless!

Put your unique personality on display by storing your favourite pencils and pens in your one-of-a-kind holder.
