These ideas come only from people that like keeping the junk* from taking apart electronic devices...

*Your mom's point of view
What You'll Need:

What You'll Need:
A drill motor
A Hot Glue Gun (You can use other adhesives such as: Silicone RTV, Epoxy, Sugru, And More)
A Drill
About one meter (~1 yard) of rope, string, or wire
A flat and hard piece of any material you want (I used a ferrite, If you don't have one, It's your time to improvise!)
A Screw
A sharp metal object (A Phillips Screw-Driver can work)
The pens or pencils you want in the cup
Where Do You Want to Put It?

Choose a place where it will be comfortable for you to reach when you need a pencil,
I chose to place it under my Magnetic Pegboard.
After choosing the place, I marked a hole in the wood with a small Phillips Screwdriver.
Insert a Screw

Next, With my drill, I inserted the screw in the hole that I marked earlier
Take Apart the Motor

The motor is made out of two main parts (the Shaft and the Frame), I separated them by sliding them apart.
Hot Glue Time!

I hot-glued the ferrite to the bottom of the frame of the motor, This is to form a cup shape which won't let the pencils fall out through the bottom.
Make a Loop

After that, I made a loop with magnet wire and hot glued it to the the motor's frame
You're Done!

Place it on the screw. Don't forget to put your preferred pens or pencils inside! ;)
I might change the way that it hangs in the future, But for now, It's good enough...
Thanks for Watching!
