Making a pen holder is an interesting thing and it is also a perfect gift for your father or your friends. Don’t worry, it is very simple and you will learn it soon. First, you need prepare the raw material of pen holder. You can find the raw material everywhere. A food box , a can or the toilet paper holder are all can be used for making pen holder.

Cans that once held fruit or vegetables are easier to clean and are the right size. Cut out colorful ads from magazines or use gift wrap or construction paper to put on the outside of the can. Choose an ad or gift wrap paper that has a lighter background to make the letters D.A.D. Draw the letters with a pen on the paper in block letters, then cut them out. Glue the D.A.D. letters to the part of the can that you want to be the front. Using the brush, paint the outside of the can with glue. The glue will dry leaving a protective, shiny coat. You can add felt to the bottom of the can by simplying cutting out a round piece and attaching with glue. If you are going to turn the can into a soda holder, you can also put felt inside the can.

 Paint craft sticks. Let dry. Trace the end of the toilet paper holder on to cardboard. Cut this circle out. Glue it on to one end of the cardboard tube. Let dry. Cover tube with a light coat of tacky glue. Place painted sticks side-by-side to cover tube. Wrap with rubber bands until dry. Decorate with painted, pre-cut wood shapes if desired.

 Is it so easy? And it is a good way of saving resouces. Why not try it?
