This is a makeshift jewelry hepler that I got inspired to make when I was making a Christmas gift for someone.

Supplies

The items you will need are:

  • a used paper towel tube
  • a pencil

The only tool you'll need is scissors.

Make the Legs

To make the legs:

  1. cut in an I shaped pattern
  2. fold the flaps upward

your legs should look something like the above images

Make the Real Holder

To make the real holder:

  1. cut a small slit big enough for the pencil
  2. repeat on the bottom
  3. slide the through the slits

Once again, you should have something like the images.

Finishing It Off

to finish it off put a small slit in the opposite side of the pencil. Now all you need to do is wrap your jewelry project on it and put your real of string.
