pen holder

How to make a milk carton pen holder – Sumikko Gurashi – Milk pack: How to make a pen stand

Here’s an idea for a pen holder you can use every day as a study companion.

First, prepare a milk carton and cut it to a suitable height.

Fold the top edge inward and secure it with tape to form the pen holder.

You can use it as is, but it’s a bit plain, isn’t it? So try covering it with origami or wrapping paper, or decorating it with lace.

It’s also fun to design it to match the recipient’s tastes if you’re giving it as a gift.

Once that’s done, turn the pen holder upside down and glue marbles to the four corners to finish.

The marbles will make it more stable.

Something infants can make! Here’s an idea for a flower pocket.

In addition to a cute flower design, it includes a pocket made from a paper plate.

Try slipping in a letter, message card, or photo and giving it as a gift to parents.

You’ll need construction paper, round stickers, patterned origami paper, ribbon, tissue paper for flowers, a paper plate, and paint.

After cutting the construction paper into a flower shape, add patterns with finger stamping.

Children in preschool classes can also paint with brushes in any colors they like.

Just spotting your cupcake memo stand will warm your heart every time! All you need are paper clay, clips, and beads.

The beads will be used as decorative toppings, so choosing your favorite colors and shapes will get kids excited, too.

thanks tag

For those who want to express gratitude to graduating kindergarteners, thank-you tags are also recommended.

First, prepare cookie cutters, paper clay, string, and a straw.

Start by kneading and mixing the clay to create your preferred color.

Cut out shapes with your favorite cookie cutters, then use the straw to make a hole near the top of each piece of clay—this is where the string will go through.

Finally, write a message or stamp on the clay, let it dry, and you’re done.

You can also decorate with beads or other embellishments to your liking.
