DIY Pen Stand

With Christmas around the corner I thought I could create something with colours related to Christmas. So came up this idea of a DIY easy pen stand.





















The materials used is a tin can (used condensed milk can), chart paper both for covering the can on
the outside as well the inside, some ribbons ( they can be any colour combination), permanent glue and a few beads.

I used the red chart paper to cover up the can an the green to cover the inside. The golden ribbon was cut out in shapes of petals (I used a total of six). Folded them length wise in half and again folded them into half. Then glued all the petals in the centre with permanent glue. Added the red beads. Finally, tied a green ribbon around the can and a bit around the top.


















Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
