How to Make a Creative Pen Holder

In this small instructable, you will see how to make a creative pen holder!  None are alike and all are different!

Gather Materials

Go outside your office and gather things that you think would be fun to create a pen holder from.  Non-organic materials only, as you don't want your pen holder to decompose!  Also, you could go to the hardware store for a myriad of creative materials. For mine, I gathered some electric wire that was on the ground, some other miscellaneous building material and a cupboard hinge.

Compile Your Materials

Now that you have gathered your desired materials, place them all together in a shape or form that you like.  For the wire on mine I used a big pen and bent the wire around it to give it a more circular shape.  This step is the most creative.  You are only limited by your imagination...and the amount of materials that you gathered.

Once you have achieved your desired form, a little super glue goes a long way!  This will help your holder maintain the form the worked to hard to achieve!



Final Stages!

After the super glue has dried you now have the option to spray paint your pen holder to add some color or make it a little more uniform.  I sprayed mine a matte black as it seemed to me that everything was a different color and the whole piece was just too busy.  So the choice is yours.

Allow a sufficient amount of time to dry before you place it on your desk for your coworkers admiration, or strange looks.
