Pencil holder ideas. Do-it-yourself pencil stand from improvised materials

The correct organization of objects on the child's desk is a requirement not only for school teachers, but also for children's doctors. Not all parents are aware of the interesting fact that the type of workplace significantly affects the process of consolidating educational material by a child. On the desk, not only should there be a general order, but also each accessory should have its own permanent place, located at a convenient distance from children. A pencil stand, which is easy to make with your own hands, can help in organizing the order.

What to look for when making coasters

All requirements are determined by several sciences.

Since writing instruments are the most frequently in demand, great attention should be paid to their storage and placement. By the way, coasters can be made not only for children, but also for adults, they can be used as a decor item or a pleasant memory of spending time with children (if they were made together). Remember that children will be very reluctant to use objects when they do not like them for one reason or another.

Production material

Coasters can be made from almost all materials: paper and cardboard, wood and plastic, clay and plasticine, metal cans and plastic containers. But in all cases, several factors must be taken into account.

1. Environmental friendliness. It is strictly forbidden to make crafts from poisonous plastics. This refers to packaging and containers used for technical liquids, except for food products. Coasters are placed in close proximity to the child, harmful fumes of chemical elements have an extremely negative effect on the health of the child.
2. Safety. Children often play with coasters, and there is a possibility of injury. Make crafts from durable and lightweight materials, finished items cannot have sharp corners.
3. Strength. If the pencil stand consists of several elements, then all of them must be firmly connected to each other. Especially when the material can break and injure the child.

designer look

As mentioned above, children will not use those items that they do not like. In the case of pencil holders, writing instruments will always be scattered on the table, and not folded into a holder.

Practical advice. Please consult with your children before making a final decision on which type of coaster to use.

Better yet, choose models with them and create them with your own hands. This process allows the child to feel their importance and the importance of the decisions made.

dimensions

The stand should not only accommodate all the pencils and pens that the child has, but also have enough space for the future. Items should be easy to put in and take out, not create difficulties during use. And at the same time, the stand should be compact, not take up much space on the child’s table. Of course, the size is directly affected by the design features of the product. It is always necessary to make informed decisions and at the same time take into account the maximum number of individual factors.

Pencil holder options

There are a huge number of options for making coasters for pencils, it is not even possible to talk about all of them even purely theoretically. We offer for consideration only a few, in our opinion, the most successful solutions, you will have to choose the one that is acceptable for yourself. At the same time, one should always keep in mind that the best pencil stand in all respects is only the one that the performer likes.

Table. Types of pencil holders.

Stand type	Brief description of manufacturing technology
	The pencil case is made from old, but still solid items. It can be an army bowler for food, an old handbag, a wooden box, etc. Nothing needs to be repaired, on the contrary, the more signs of the times are visible, the better the model lives up to its name.
	Today, flower pots are made so beautiful that you can easily make a beautiful pencil holder out of them. Cache-pots are made of ceramics, the side surfaces are decorated with various stucco patterns. It is recommended to paint them with new colors and supplement them with author's drawings or original inscriptions.
	You can saw off a small piece of wood, it is advisable to choose linden, it has a very soft core. Remove it with a chisel and chisel. Surfaces are varnished or left untouched. If the pencil holder does not hold a vertical position well, then you can fix it on a large wooden stand.
	Clean dry packaging is painted with paints, decorated with a rope made of natural materials. In addition, small stones can be glued. The type of decor is selected by the manufacturer, thanks to which the stand turns out to be absolutely exclusive.
	The most striking example is a stand made from an old kitchen grater. Holes for pencils are allowed not to be drilled, they are easily punched in thin metal with a punch. The surface can be artificially aged and covered with a transparent or colored varnish.
	Sections can remain at construction sites after the installation of underfloor heating. Circles are cut out of cork wood and glued together. Next, you need to make holes for pencils and use it as an original stand.
	If quite a lot of different items have accumulated near the computer, which are both a pity to throw away and have nowhere to adapt - combine several used floppy disks into one design, you get an excellent container for storing pencils and pens.

Even this small list gives an idea of ​​how many different options there are. But you can add your own individual and completely exclusive to them.

Pencil stand

Making a stand from a metal can

Such a craft can be done in just a few hours, there are many options for decorations, we will consider one of the simplest, but very beautiful.

To work, you will need a clean metal can from canned food, universal glue, white paint, various ribbons, laces, buttons and other small items. To align the sharp edges of a metal can, you need pliers, glue is applied with a small brush, and the ribbons are cut with scissors. We offer decor options, it is not necessary to have a complete list of elements, choose for yourself as many as you see fit. Colors and textures also depend on your preferences.

Step 1. Use pliers to bend sharp edges from the cover, they can severely injure your hands. Take the tool in your right hand, and hold the metal can with your left. Slowly turn it and at the same time smooth out sharp edges with pliers. Work carefully, try not to deform the edging on the front side of the can. Although it will be covered with decorative elements in the future, large indentations may remain noticeable, and this has a negative impact on the overall design of the product.

Step 2 Paint the inside of the can with white paint. We used this finishing option, you can think of a different one: use colored paints, draw simple ornaments inside, etc. Currently, it is exclusive handicrafts that are very popular. It is not necessary to achieve perfect symmetry and visible professionalism. Let it be immediately noticeable that your pencil stand is handmade, and not conveyor-made. Such things are not only prestigious, but also very expensive. Allow time for the paint to dry.

Practical advice. If you know how to knit, then it is recommended to make a special small case with an elastic band - one front loop and one wrong side.

The case can be made one-color or multi-colored, surfaces can be decorated with additional decor or not. It is allowed to take design examples from the Internet, there are a lot of different original solutions on the network. But you should always remember one axiom - none of the professional designers lives in your apartment and will not see the results of their advice every day. Hence - do only what you personally like, use advice only for general development and broadening your horizons. The only good reason to make one or another version of the pencil holder is that you liked this decision.

Step 3 Tie a cover with white and gray threads, the height should correspond to the size of the jar. It is not necessary to make a very small diameter, the knitted fabric will stretch and the outer side of the can will be noticeable. In our example, one half of the case is white and the other half is grey.

Step 4 Put the prepared blank on the jar, correct the position, align it along the perimeter of the container. If the gum has sat down tightly, then the surface of the jar can not be smeared with glue. If it is too large, slips and falls, then it will have to be fixed in the upper part.

Step 5 Start decorating the stand. Glue white and gray buttons, wrap the upper part with a rope, it can be colored or ordinary from natural linen.

Practical advice. Metal jars have one drawback - they are very light and high, and the bottom area is small. If you put a lot of pencils in it, then there is a possibility of tipping over.

There are two ways to solve the problem.

1. Screw the jar to a large wooden or plastic stand. Due to this, the stability of the structure will be significantly increased.
2. At the bottom of the jar, put a piece of iron or other heavy object. It should be as close to the bottom as possible - the center of gravity drops, and stability increases. The disadvantage of this method is that the internal dimensions of the can are reduced.

Instead of a knitted case, the outer surfaces can be trimmed with various pieces of ribbon. Gently coat the jar with strong glue and glue the pieces of ribbon in turn.

Further, the surfaces of the stand are decorated with any decorative elements. You can select them by topic, depending on the upcoming holidays. Use store-bought decorations or make your own.

Instructions for making a corn coaster

This is a very original piece. It is recommended to work with children, they can not only perform the simplest work, but also take part in the discussion of the type and components of the stand. Joint pastime is extremely necessary for all children, this is the most effective way of education, instills in children love for their parents, and teaches the latter to respect the opinions of the kids.

This craft is a great solution for spending time with a child.

Making the stand body

To make a stand you will need:

• plastic bottle with a capacity of 0.5 l;
• thin double-sided tape;
• a glass of white beans;
• pieces of green felt for sheets and a template for cutting them out;
• a glass of water and some yellow paint;
• scissors, glue gun and brush.

Step 1. Mark the height of the head of corn. In order for the stand to look more natural, you need to respect the proportions. For a bottle of this diameter, the length should be about 20 cm. With a felt-tip pen, draw a circular line for the height of the future head of corn.

Step 2 With a sharp mounting knife, carefully cut off the excess part of the bottle. If the cut turned out to be uneven, then correct its edges with scissors. Pay attention that the line of the circle is strictly horizontal.

Step 3 Seal the bottle completely with double-sided tape. The second surface of the tape should be closed with special paper, it is removed just before gluing the beans and petals. We must always remember that the sticky surface of the adhesive tape gets dirty very quickly, not only dirt sticks to it, but also grease from the fingers. In this state, the tape sharply reduces adhesion indicators, the glued elements will surely fall over time. The result - crafts instead of pleasing to the eye, will look very ugly.

Step 4 Glue small squares of adhesive tape to the bottom of the bottle, they are installed on special ledges around the bottom perimeter. As a rule, there are five such protrusions on the bottle.

Step 5 Remove the protective paper tape from all pieces of tape. We have already mentioned that you need to work carefully, do not touch the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape. Glue the beans around the perimeter of the bottle. Make the first row above the cutting line, it closes all possible defects. Gluing beans is the longest and most responsible operation, it requires perseverance and care. Press the beans strongly against the adhesive tape, only in this way adhesion increases.

Important. Leave the last circle of adhesive tape and square pieces free, the beans do not stick to them.

Step 6 Take yellow paint, water, a brush and paint all the beans yellow. Now you will see for yourself how your craft begins to resemble real corn. Leave the bottle until the paint is completely dry, during which time you can prepare the leaves of the head.

Making leaves

Step 1. Spread a cloth on the table, it is needed so that the surface of the countertop is not scratched or dirty. Lay a piece of felt and a leaf template on the fabric. Align them in such a way as to reduce the amount of waste and at the same time ensure the full dimensions of the elements.

Step 2 Hold the felt template with one hand and carefully cut out the piece with the other. If for some reason it is difficult for you to do this, then you can first outline the template along the contour, then proceed to cutting without it. Just keep in mind that the lines can be noticeable, it is forbidden to use felt-tip pens. There is a very simple and reliable grandmother's method of drawing on patterns - with the help of soap bars. The line is drawn with an edge, due to this, its thickness decreases. Remove after cutting the leaves traces of soap is not a problem. Prepare five completely identical leaves.

Step 3 Check if the paint has dried during this time. Touch it gently with the back of your finger. If everything is in order, then you can continue to work on the manufacture of the stand.

Step 4 Glue the leaves around the bottom of the bottle. For this, scotch tape was previously specially left; it was not used for gluing beans. Peel back the leaves and the pencil holder is ready to use.

1. Making coasters with your own hands is a creative activity, and such work cannot be fully planned in advance. Already in the course of production, changes are often made not only in the composition, but also in the technology of manufacturing the stand. Advice - do all the work as carefully as possible, do not hope that the marriage will be corrected later. The fact is that no one knows the final version, and marriage can interfere with beautiful changes.
2. Use only serviceable tools, the workplace should be clean, free and level. Remember that you can spoil the result of labor very quickly, and it takes a lot of time to restore the previous state of the stand.
3. It is always desirable to have not only one plan of action in advance, but also several fallback options.
4. Do not try to completely copy factory products. Firstly, you will never be able to repeat them exactly, this applies not only to appearance, but also to quality. Secondly, products of an exclusive nature, made by human hands, are much more valued, soul and skill are invested in them.

Conclusion

The above materials are used to make a large number of crafts, and not just coaster options. Feel free to show and develop your abilities. But the main attention should be paid to the development and upbringing of children. Let them do their own crafts, not just pencil holders. Always praise, do not pay attention to appearance, the main thing is childish effort.

In kindergarten and at home, there are often a lot of "extra" pencils and felt-tip pens, which sometimes adults and children do not know where to put them. They are scattered on tables and shelves. So that these accessories are not lost and they have "their" place, we decided with the guys to make a stand-...

A handmade wooden pencil holder is not only a useful item, but also an interesting decorative design element. How and from what to do, we will tell in this article.

When making a stand for writing instruments, it is advisable not to use hazel or birch, since such material is quite hard and fragile, but to give preference to cherry, mountain ash, cedar and linden.

Separate recesses for each pencil are effective when searching as the pencils do not mix.

Necessary tools and materials

To make your own pencil holder, you need:

• chisel;
• drill with a drill 8 mm;
• sandpaper;
• varnish to cover the product.

It is easy to make a pencil holder from a wooden cube from a pallet, you just need to cut a recess and decorate

To decorate the product, you can use wood paints, decoupage napkins, canvas threads or other decorations.

Step-by-step instruction

The first thing to do is to find the right material. It can be a cube from a wooden pallet or a large tree branch. Then:

1. With the help of a chisel, the product is given a cylindrical or other, for example, square shape.
2. Grind the surface with sandpaper.
3. The required number of holes are drilled in the upper part. In this case, it is advisable not to make holes through, since pencil leads and paste from pens will stain the surface of the table. Or you can make one recess with a Forstner drill, then the shape of the product will resemble a glass.

Cut a cylinder from a large branch, process it with a chisel and sandpaper, drill and decorate for every taste - a finished pencil box

• Make decoupage - apply a primer to the tree, dry it, glue a napkin with the image you like with PVA glue, and then varnish the product.
• Coloring the pencil case in a bright color is especially popular with children.
• Lubricate the surface of the pencil holder with glue and wrap tightly with canvas threads, attach a small bow on top.

Wooden "glass" wrapped with canvas thread is pleasant to the touch and can serve as an antidepressant

A do-it-yourself pencil holder will not only decorate the interior, but also allow you to keep your writing instruments in order. And the special charm of such a stand is that it is very simple to make it, the main thing is to have the desire and time to do the work.

Greetings, dear friends! Today I hurry to you to tell you how a pencil box looks and is made with your own hands. I will show several master classes and just interesting photo ideas.

A few months ago my husband had a birthday. In this regard, I decided that in addition to the main gift, I want to give him something special, made by myself. The choice fell on a pencil holder, since Danil is fond of calligraphy and, accordingly, has a lot of accessories for this type of creativity.

How to make a pencil holder with your own hands: a master class

I'll show you how to make a pencil holder with cute My Neighbor Totoro characters. In fact, this technology can be applied to any kind of pencil holders.

To create a pencil holder you will need:

1. Tin can (from under any canned food)
2. Any fabric of your choice for wrapping the jar (I took fleece and mickey fleece)
3. Felt for finishing
4. Threads in the color of the fabric
5. Scissors
6. Glue with a thin nose, or a glue gun
7. Plastic eyes
8. A piece of synthetic winterizer

First of all, you will need to measure:

• can circumference,
• can height,
• bottom diameter.

In accordance with the measurements obtained, cut out rectangles from the fabric in 2 parts with the parameters: (can height + 0.5 cm seam allowances) x (circumference + allowance).

For both rectangles, first sew the back seam (with a “back needle” seam or on a sewing machine) to get a closed surface. Sew the bottom to the rectangle along the contour. Turn one part out and leave the other.

Set aside the resulting cylinders. Now cut out 18 paired animal parts from the fabric - in my case, small totors. I don’t give patterns, since it’s easy to draw the outline yourself - an oval with ears))

Sew paired parts together, you get 9 animals (do not forget about the holes for eversion).

In place of future eyes, draw dots and make cuts crosswise, as in the photo.

Turn the animals inside out and stuff with padding polyester.

And now add a little glue along the contour to the holes obtained. Be careful - then you have to insert eyes into the holes. Insert until the side of the eyes is completely buried in the fur.

Sew up the hole at the bottom.

wow, eyeball

Sheathe the jar with details from the padding polyester with a seam "over the edge". This is necessary so that the pencil holder does not knock on the table. You can skip this step if you wish.

First, sew the edges of the padding polyester wrapped around the jar. Sew on the bottom too.

Pull one of the cylinder pieces onto the outside of the can. In my case, it does not reach the top edge a little - a special effect.

At the bottom of the pencil holder I also put a synthetic winterizer (I glued it so that it would not move out).

Insert the second (not inside out) cylinder inside the stand. If desired, you can also drop a little glue on the bottom so that the inside is fixed.

Sew one cylinder to the other with a hidden seam.

I get such a pencil box)) If you wish, you can stop at this stage or decorate the product according to the description further.

Glue or sew all the animals over the entire surface.

Cut out a few leaves from felt and embroider characteristic lines on them with a “back needle” seam. Glue the leaves to the resulting pencil case. You can also embroider patterns on the bunnies themselves.

We love the result

From cans

Apple

A very interesting way to make a pencil holder is to use a jar, liquid acrylics, paper, a plate, string and a fake petal with a glue gun.

Minion

Meet the favorite of all the kids!) Here you will need a tin and a colored EVA polymer (foamed rubber, which can be purchased in the form of plastics in craft stores). By the way, the polymer can be replaced with soft felt.

Cut out all the details according to the template and wrap the jar with a yellow rectangle. From the inside, also glue a rectangle to hide the metal part. Glue the muzzle, panties. Don't forget the mouth.

From plastic bottles

Pears

To make these cute pencil holders, all you need is a few oblong bottles, scissors, tape, acrylic paints, and a photo frame to mount (optional).

Cut off the threads of the bottle and cut out part of the top, as in the photo. Seal the central part with tape on both sides, leaving an empty space in the middle. Paint the empty space and decorate with the remaining lids, also painted. You can glue it to the frame, or you can leave it as it is.

Monsters

This is where the shampoo bottle comes in handy. Cut off her top with a lid, choosing the shape you want. Cut out the handles from the rest. Glue funny faces made of felt or paper.

cylinders

book flower

Very unusual and bright idea. Take an old thick magazine or reference book. Divide all its pages into 5 equal parts. Glue the pencil to the side. Wrap a book around a pencil so that it is in the center, glue it.

Prime with white acrylic paint on top. Cut out the bottom of the thick cardboard by circling the pencil holder. Glue the bottom.

from wood

Or rather, not even from wood, but from wooden pencils. To do this, you just need to glue a few pencils together, forming a wall. You will need 4 such walls. At the bottom, glue the bottom of thick cardboard.

But I described the 10th pencil holder in an article about New Year's decorations. I strongly advise you to look, there are a lot of interesting ideas.

By the way, minky fleece, from which the outer green background of the first pencil holder and white totors were made, acquired Here. I advise you, because it is very, very difficult to find it in woven fabrics.

from wood

A material such as wood gives rise to a lot of ideas. For example, you can use a small branch with a diameter of about 10cm. Cut a hole inside it and sand it.

Or, take a whole stump. Then several holes can be made, separately and under the handles, and under pencils, and under felt-tip pens.

And just a bar will do. It will remain cut out separately for handles and pencil holes. Each device has its own hole.

• From hot glue etc.

But more on that next time.
