Cardboard Pen/Marker Holder

This project is of a pen holder I made out of cardboard. It uses only scrap parts, making it a perfect small project.

Large Cardboard Sheet

3-4 Straws

Glue Stick

Tape

Cardstock

Scissors (Laser cutter if available)

If you have a laser cutter, use the DWG provided to cut out all the parts. Otherwise, trace all the parts onto cardboard and cut them out.

Use the 6 slats and the two circles with 6 circles and put them together.

Insert the straws (folding them inside of each other in order to add more width into the main body and add the spiral piece into the bottom.

Assemble the top and bottom by cutting pieces out of the straws and inserting them into the small curved holes.

Wrap paper around slits to hold objects in place (add color if wanted), then test to make sure all the parts move. Congratulations, the build is complete!
