Pencil Holder

I love to write, and I usually like to put my thoughts down on paper. I store my pencils in a homemade pencil container. To make one, you need:

• A sheet or two of Decorative Paper
• A clean, empty can (size of your choice)
• Duck Tape
• Scotch Tape (double sided is good)
• Embellishments

Take your can. If your lid is not off, remove it with a can opener. Take your duck tape and tear off a piece the size of the exterior of the can. Wrap it around the outside lip of the can and fold it over, so the sharp part on the top of the can is hidden. You should now have a can with a piece of duck tape wrapped around the edge.

Next, take your sheet of decorative paper. Measure the height and circumference of your can, and cut  the paper to that size. Leave a little excess paper. You can make it shorter later, but not longer. Once your paper is cut, wrap it tightly around the can, and use the tape to tape it to its self. 

Now the fun really begins...decorations! Use whatever you have to make the can look to your taste. Happy crafting! :)
