Upcycled DIY pencil holder
What is upcycling?
Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products perceived to be of greater quality, such as artistic value or environmental value.
You will need:
Can
Paper
Scissor
Glue gun and glue stick
Pencil
Ruler
Decorations of your choice
Step 1: Ask your parents or an older sibling to help you to prepare your can that it is safe. (Make sure there are no sharp edges).
Step 2: Measure how much paper you will need and draw a pencil line to mark.
Step 3: Now use your scissor to cut off the paper.
Step 4: Glue your paper on the tin using your glue gun. (Please ask your parents for assistance).
Step 5: Now you can start gluing on your decorations.
I used some small pencil crayons, a broken sharpener, some wooden letters and a dried up marker.
Step 6: Now your pencil holder is complete. Fill up your holder so you are prepared for the next activity.
Have fun.
This activity is brilliant for the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
