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

The items you will need are:
- a used paper towel tube
- a pencil
The only tool you'll need is scissors.

To make the legs:
- cut in an I shaped pattern
- fold the flaps upward
your legs should look something like the above images
Make the Real Holder

To make the real holder:
- cut a small slit big enough for the pencil
- repeat on the bottom
- 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.
