1. Toilet Paper Roll Pencil Holder
A toilet paper roll pencil holder is one of the simplest and most useful crafts you can make. It is perfect for organizing pencils, pens, markers, and small stationery items on a desk.
To prepare, collect one or more empty toilet paper rolls and make sure they are clean and dry. If the rolls feel weak, you can insert one roll inside another to make it stronger. Materials needed include colored paper or paint, glue, scissors, and optional decorations such as stickers or ribbons.
To make the pencil holder, cover the outer surface of the roll with colored paper or paint it in your favorite color. Allow it to dry completely if you use paint. You can then decorate it with patterns, shapes, or simple drawings. For extra stability, glue the roll onto a small cardboard base cut into a circle or square.
This pencil holder is useful for home offices, study tables, or children’s desks. It helps keep supplies organized while adding a personal and creative touch to the workspace. This craft is also great for teaching children how simple recycling can create practical items.
