DIY pencil holder: 15 master classes on creating a pencil stand

Hello my dear readers. Probably, many of you have come across the fact that children often scatter pencils and markers everywhere. To solve this problem, make a pencil holder with them. The child will be happy to collect his drawing tools and put them in a box made and painted with his own hands.

And so today I want to offer you several ways to make a pencil holder out of paper with your own hands.

A simple idea for a stationery

An original organizer can be made from cardboard sleeves. The step-by-step lesson in this article will help with this. For work you will need: thick cylinders, corrugations of different colors, scissors, glue, ruler.

First you need to measure the length and circumference of the insert.
We make strips of the same size from multi-colored corrugated sheets.
We cover the base with paper blanks.
To make everything look organized, draw a cloud on a clean piece of cardboard. Cut along the contour.
Glue all the prepared parts onto it.
We come up with various flowers from colored sheets and decorate the composition.

Now your desk will be decorated with an interesting and convenient pencil holder made from toilet paper rolls, made by yourself.

Workplace organization and safety

Wear protective clothing and check personal protective equipment (safety glasses, rubber gloves; dielectric mats).

Inspect the workplace, remove unnecessary and disturbing objects, paying attention to the sufficiency of lighting, the presence of guards for rotating parts of machines and mechanisms.

Carry out an external inspection of machines, equipment and mechanisms and make sure:

free access to starting devices;
in the serviceability of electrical equipment and grounding devices, starting and blocking devices by briefly turning them on;
in the efficiency of braking devices;
availability of fences, their serviceability and reliability of fastening;
that the tool, pushers, and the presence of a hook are in good working order.
in serviceability of devices for processing parts, pushers;
that the starting devices are in good working order by briefly turning them on.

During work, it is necessary to follow the instructions, rules of operation of equipment, machines, mechanisms and tools, do not subject them to mechanical shocks, and do not allow falls.

Check the presence of voltage in the network only with a voltage indicator.

Monitor the proper operation of machines, equipment and devices, the integrity of insulation and grounding.

Before drilling, mark the centers of the holes.

Feed the drill to the part smoothly, without effort or jerking, only after the machine spindle reaches full rotation speed.
Do not tilt your head close to the rotating spindle of the machine and the drill.
It is prohibited to hold a part that is not secured in a vice with your hands while drilling, or to work while wearing gloves.
Do not place foreign objects on the machine bed.
Do not lubricate or cool the drill while the machine is running using wet rags.
Do not brake the machine chuck or the rotating drill with your hands.
When drilling large wooden workpieces, place a piece of board under them on the floor of the machine.
Pay special attention and caution at the end of drilling. When the drill leaves the workpiece material, reduce the feed.
Do not leave the machine running unattended.

When working on STD-120 m

Strictly observe the technique of working with a cutter (the grip of the cutter, their location on the tool rest, techniques for moving the cutters during the turning process).
Before turning on the machine, make sure that it is in good working order and has a protective casing, and that the tool is well sharpened and has a firmly seated handle.
The workpiece must be selected without cracks and knots, and correctly and firmly fixed to the machine.
You must work in glasses, overalls, and a hat.
It is prohibited to measure the workpiece while the machine is running, move the tool rest, or clean the machine.

After finishing work, the carpentry shop worker is obliged to:

turn off the power supply in the sequence established by the operating instructions for equipment, machines and tools, taking into account the nature of the work being performed;
when putting students’ work places in order, the carpentry shop worker is obliged to ensure that all current-carrying devices are turned off and monitor this process;
provide students with an organized exit from the workshop;
remove personal protective equipment to the designated area;
turn off the lights, turn off the taps, close the windows.

Economic calculation of product manufacturing:

The product is made from wood waste - price (P) 1 m³ = 1000 rubles
V blanks = (0.06m x 0.06m x 0.15m) + (0.06m x 0.15m x 0.15m) = 0.00189m²
C₁ = C x V = 0.00189 x 1000 rub. = 1.89 rubles
1 kWh of electricity costs (C) = 1.78 rubles

I did not take into account general lighting, because... The work was carried out during the daytime.

With email machine energy = 0.4 kW x 2 hours of operation x 1.78 rubles = 1.424 rubles
Wages for 1 hour = minimum wage per month 4611 rubles: 24 working days: 8 working hours = 24 rubles
C₃ worker's salary = 3 hours x 24 rubles = 72 rubles
The varnish was used in small quantities, so I did not take into account the cost of it.
C total = 1.89 +1.424 + 72 = 75.31 rubles

A cheerful handmade pencil holder made from a plastic bottle is ready.

Stylish clay pencil holder

Let's conduct another good master class on DIY pencil holders.

To create another unusual craft, take:

Clay for modeling;
Plastic bottle;
Stack;
A handle or tube of small thickness;
Brush;
Some water.

Stages of work:

You will first need to cut the frame from a plastic bottle. To do this, cut it off at the top and bottom.
Roll out a piece of clay, turning it into a layer 0.5 cm thick. Wrap it around the frame.
Taking the stack, cut the top of the pencil holder in a wavy shape. Use a pen or tube to make a hole under each wave.
A clay pencil holder can be made multifunctional, using it not only for pencils or pens, but also for small items.
To do this, make a cut in the middle of the workpiece with two lines.
Bend the lines and make a pocket, which will require a little more clay. Let the product dry, then remove the plastic frame.
Now roll out the clay to a thickness of 1.5 cm and cut out a circle for the bottom. Its diameter should match the diameter of the top. Connect it to the product.
Use a stack to cut decorative depressions on the bottom circle. All joints are covered with water, fingers or a brush.

Stationery organizer made from sticks

One of the best materials for such crafts is wood. For a children's room it is important that everything is natural. No caustic paints or flowers. A pencil made from an environmentally friendly component will be an excellent option that meets all requirements. It brings warmth and comfort to the house. Fits perfectly into any decor.

But making it is not so easy. Not everyone can process the cut or cover it with protective varnish. Don't be upset, there are simpler ideas.

How to make a pencil holder out of wood? Beginners can use wooden popsicle sticks.

For work you need: a tin can, sticks, paint, hot glue, decorative accessories.

Each part must be coated with the selected shade of acrylic paints. It is more aesthetically pleasing to use two colors that are in harmony with each other.
Paint the bottom of the jar.
Using a glue gun, we glue the entire perimeter of the tin with pieces of wood, alternating shades.
We cover the product with acrylic varnish.
For decoration, you can take self-adhesive beads, rhinestones and other accessories.

For craftsmen with experience and available tools, there is a more complicated option. In a short lesson we will tell you how to make an unusual craft. You will need a log; it is better to prepare birch or pear.

It is necessary to cut a log 12 centimeters high.
Sand on all sides.
Drill the required number of holes of different diameters. No more than ten centimeters high.
Sand each hole with sandpaper.

An unusual organizer is ready to take its place. A pencil or pen in such a glass will occupy a certain place. The craft will fit perfectly into a loft style interior.

Crochet bunny

Any child will be delighted by such a cute and beautiful stationery accessory. For a pencil stand you will need: white and pink yarn, satin ribbon, knitting tools, plastic eyes, needle and scissors. The tighter you use the threads, the better they will hold their shape. For greater reliability, the finished craft can be starched.

We begin to knit the ring in pink. We cast on 6 loops. In the 2nd row we make increases in each of them. This makes 12 loops.
We continue to add: 3 rounds - in every second loop, the next - in every third, then - in every fourth and so on. In the end there should be 36 pieces.
We knit one row behind the back wall. The rest are as usual. Having reached level 12, we change the color of the yarn. We knit ten more with white thread. Secures the thread. The glass for pens and pencils is finished.
Let's start with the ears. We cast on a ring of six white loops. In the second row we double it, in the third row we triple it. We knit three circles without increasing. Next we decrease to 12, through one loop. We knit 4 layers without decreasing. We repeat the same for the second ear.
Nose. We cast on a ring of six loops. We knit one circle without changes, forming a circle. Sew it in the center. We embroider mustaches on the side.
We sew the ears with a needle to the front of the stand. We complement the product with a satin bow.
Glue on the eyes. The crocheted pencil is ready to use. Now your baby will not lose a single hand.

Paper ideas

Paper is a wonderful budget material for creativity. The art of origami is perfectly used in making coasters from this component. You can make a simple quadrangular box, or you can make a complex modular design for pencils. Cardboard is also ideal for the job.

Products made from it are in no way inferior to wooden ones. The only condition is to avoid getting wet. The cardboard technique is widely used in needlework. The easiest option is to download a template from the Internet and cut it out. Transfer contours and fold lines. Glue the allowances and connect all the elements following the drawing. This original masterpiece will wonderfully decorate your desktop.

Stationery storage is a very relevant topic. The Internet is full of fascinating master classes on making storage for writing instruments. Below are a few ideas on how to make a pen organizer with your own hands.

From the history of the use of birch burl

Birch burl is dense, curly, and is a valuable material for all kinds of crafts. In the last century, this unusual material was called differently. In the Vologda province - “in flood”, in the western provinces of Russia - “smelting”. The last name, which has taken root, which we still use today, comes, as is commonly believed, from the ancient Slavic word “kap”, which means head.

At first glance, the burl on the tree actually resembles the shape of a human head. It can be found on the branches of old trees and on the trunk - stem burl. Remove the bark and you will see that the “head” is completely covered with tubercles, papillae, and needles. The rarest and therefore most valuable needle burl is found, as a rule, on branches. It can be small in size: ten to fifteen, rarely - up to forty centimeters in diameter.

To determine the value of the build-up, the master made a cut and with a damp cloth, or even simply - impatiently - drooled his finger and ran it over the cut to see the main thing - the pattern, unique in each burl smelting. Burl lends itself well to processing, does not warp, does not crack, does not swell, does not shrink, and is so strong and weighty that they once made carpentry tools from it in Slobodsky district - hammers.

It was not for nothing that a peasant who found a rare and now almost extinct forest nugget took it hundreds of miles to a master burrower. The material was assessed “by eye” - the smaller the pattern and the larger the piece, the more expensive it was. And although it is difficult to determine the thickness of the burl layer by looking (sometimes the craftsmen were left at a loss - when sawing, they found only a thin layer of burl), nevertheless, they always willingly took the smelting. So, in 1837, for a burl growth of twenty pounds, they paid up to fifty rubles - considerable money at that time: the same amount was valued at a thoroughbred bull at an agricultural exhibition. Burls are found on oak, walnut, black alder, aspen, but most often on birch.

Glass from food containers

Many people have food storage containers in their kitchens. Most of them are lying around idle. Why not use it as an active element? The process itself will take very little time and effort. It is not necessary to remove the covers; it is enough to make holes in them with a powerful stapler. Connect several bases using hot glue. The order can be any. Use your imagination. If desired, a glass for pens and pencils can be decorated.

Pencil craft

If you take apart a child's desk, you can find many interesting things. I think every parent has heard the phrase from a child: “I’m out of pencils.” They are present during such cleanings. Having accumulated a sufficient amount, you can come up with an unusual use for it. We prepare 32 pieces, glue gun, scissors.

Glue 8 pieces together, forming a flat wall;
we make four such walls;
connect to each other, forming a square shape;
Cut out the bottom from a sheet of cardboard and glue it to the base.

Origami craft

With older children, you can assemble a pencil case using the origami technique.

For this we will need:

several sheets of colored paper
cardboard
scissors, glue

The pencil box consists of several compartments, each of which folds separately. Next, see our master cash register for such a product step by step:

Cut out squares of the same size from colored paper.

Fold 1 sheet in half. We unfold it, bend the edges towards the center and unfold it again.

Turn it 90° degrees and repeat all the steps again.

We unfold the workpiece, we should get 16 squares. Next, fold the corners as shown in the photo.

Once again fold the edges towards the center.

Turn it over. We ended up with a pocket on each side. We insert one into the other.

One compartment is ready. You can insert a piece of colored paper of a different color or a drawing with your favorite character into the pocket.

Thus, we fold the compartments in the required quantity and glue them together with their back sides to each other.

We cut out the base from cardboard and glue our product. The craft is ready, all that remains is to place the drawing supplies in it.

How to make a pencil out of paper

With your own hands you can complement the interior not only with the stand, but also with its contents. You can get a funny accessory if you get a little creative with a thick sheet. This idea is perfect as a gift.

On a sheet of colored cardboard we draw six strips of three centimeters each.
We additionally outline each line with a non-sharp edge of scissors or a non-writing stylus. This will make it easier to bend the material.
Fold the base along the folds. Glue it together.
On either side, you need to make cuts of two centimeters.
We bend the resulting squares inward and glue them.
We will make the filling of a pencil from white paper. We create a shape - a cone, but on the side with an arc, you need to draw semi-ovals that look like petals. We bend them up. Glue it together with a bag.
Glue the tip to the empty edge of the base. The petals should be on top.
Add a pencil tip from dark paper.
On the body we make a face consisting of eyes, mouth, and nose. Cut out the handles. We put a rolled napkin in them. Such a pencil will complement the stand, will perfectly decorate not only the workplace, but will also look original on the wall, in the form of an unusual composition.

Glass jar pencil holder for food

From a glass jar you will create a very convenient pencil holder with your own hands, which can be given as a gift to your child’s favorite teacher. Look at the photo how cute and romantic the finished craft looks.

To create such a masterpiece, you will need:

Any glass jar;
Masking tape;
Red acrylic paint;
Pencil;
Scissors;
Glue;
White paper napkins;
Stapler

Stages of work:

Draw any pattern on masking tape: a heart or a little girl. Cut out and glue in the middle of the can.
Paint the jar red and let dry. Then carefully remove the template.
Fold the napkin in half twice and secure it in the middle with a stapler.
Lift the petals and fold them so that the flower becomes voluminous. Create several of these flowers.

All that remains is to glue each flower to the edges of the jar.

Barrel of Honey

A cardboard barrel can transform your home interior and become a good storage place for all sorts of small items. How to make it with your own hands so that it makes you happy every day? To work you will need a standard stationery set. It is necessary to cut out the bottom and glue a paper strip around the entire perimeter.

Option 11. Pencil for a young princess

Glamorous set for stationery
For this craft you need:

jars of cotton swabs (2 pcs.);
olive jars (3 pcs.);
napkins with a pattern;
plain paper.

Step 1 . Take pliers and bend the edges of the tin cans. Then wash all the jars thoroughly and degrease with nail polish remover.

Painting jars with acrylic paint

Step 2 . Paint the jars with white acrylic paint. Paint in two layers: the first with a brush, the second with a sponge (can be replaced with a sponge). You can apply paint on the inside in one layer.

Step 3 . Cut out rectangles from paper according to the internal size of the cans. Use the resulting blanks as a stencil for napkins and cut them out too.

Napkin blanks are glued

Step 4 . Glue the napkin blanks to the paper. After the glue has dried, apply two layers of PVA on top - the napkins are thin and can tear easily. Then, when the glue is completely dry, apply varnish in two layers.

Step 5 . As a result, you should make 5 blanks for the bottom and 5 for the sides. Glue all the parts in the inside of the cans; you can apply another layer of varnish for added security.

Blank for the bottom

Step 6 . The jars will stick to the stand, but they have ridges on the bottom. To solve this problem, cut out circles of the required diameter from cardboard and glue them. Glue felt cut to size on top (it will easily stick to any surface).

Universal PVA glue

Step 7 . Prepare a 25 cm piece of laminate and paint the side surfaces with brown paint. Apply white paint on top. Glue the napkin, then apply glue and varnish on top.

Step 8 . Return to the banks. Decoupage the outer surfaces. Cut the napkins to size, glue them, apply glue and varnish.

Decorate the jars with lace braid and beads

Step 9 . Finally, decorate the pencil holders with beads and lace braid. Glue the jars to the base.

On a note! Before painting the inside of the cans, be sure to sand the surfaces. Otherwise, the paint will not “lay down” and nothing will stick to the cans.

Can organizer

The work is not difficult, it will take a minimum of time and costs. But once you complete it, you won’t have to constantly look for your pens and rulers.

First you need to prepare the cans. Dry them. Cover with glue and cover with paper.
Make a rectangle with a handle from plywood. It must be tied with a tourniquet.
Paint all the jars. Let them dry.
Attach the cans to both sides of the base. Wrap with twine or glue.

In fact, there are a lot of ideas. By turning on your imagination and a little bit of imagination, you can come up with an organizer for everything: for the kitchen, for jewelry, for all sorts of trinkets, for underwear. There can be a huge number of options. Everyone will choose a job to their liking. In this article you got acquainted with only a few ideas for making stationery cups. A DIY pencil will remind you of the work done.
