Stand for pens and pencils

This wood pen and pencil holder will look great on your desk. Such an application can be found for an unnecessary, idle wooden beam.

You will need the following craft materials and tools:

1. A bar of wood.

2. Drill.

3. Sandpaper.

4. Pencil.

5. Ruler.

6. Paints, varnish and any other little things for decoration.

If you want to change the shape or size of a wooden block, then you should find a saw in advance. Use a pencil and ruler to mark the holes on the top side of the block for drilling, arranging them symmetrically.

Drill holes in the bar (under the diameter of the handles). You can use a drill with a diameter of 12 mm, but if these are felt-tip pens, then you should choose a drill with a larger diameter. At the same time, when drilling all the holes, keep the drill in a strictly vertical position.

Treat with sandpaper, paint with paints and varnish. Insert pencils.

Now it remains to choose a place on your desk.

You should not be limited to a round shape, you can think of your own design for the stand, paint it or add some other details. Here are some wonderful and interesting ideas you can find on the net.

Great options for a children's desk: a square bar and crayon-colored blobs, a cute wooden hedgehog with crayons instead of needles.
