The beautified stationary holder
Do you have loose pens, pencils, erasers, scissors, etc, and an abundance of empty cans? If so, consider decorating those cans with fabric tape and other colorful ribbons to make colorful, tasteful stationary holders. This is a fun craft to do at home, and once you are done you can line the cans up along your desk and fill them with all the loose stationary.
With these decorating your desk, you will never have to worry about misplacing another pen. Further, the clutter of pens, pencils, scissors, gluesticks, and more will be neatly contained in the can, and your desk will be decorated with colorful cups. It’s a win-win situation!
