Make your own DIY Pen Holder
Tips & Ideas

While staying at home it is the best time to do some handcrafting with your children. With the below instructions you can easily transform an empty Bonny can into a nice pen holder. Your children can decorate the pen holder as they like and can keep their desks tidy with storing their pens in it.

What you need:
  • Empty Bonny can (ideally Full Cream Evaporated Milk 410g or Sweetened Condensed Milk 397g)
  • Coloured felt (or construction paper)
  • Ruler
  • Scissor
  • Glue
  • Pencil
  • Small accessories, such as ribbon, buttons or cut-out flowers
Crafting instructions:
  1. Remove lid of can completely as well as the label and wash can well. Be careful with the sharp edges.
  2. Measure size of can and cut felt or construction paper in needed size.
  3. Stick the cut-out around the can.
  4. Add accessories as desired. Tie a ribbon around the can or stick buttons or flowers on it.
  5. Let it dry for some time and put in your pencils.
