Personalize your desk by displaying a personalized pen and pencil holder. A homemade personalized pencil cup is great to hold your pens and pencils for school or work. This is also a great gift idea to your colleagues, classmates, your teacher or even to your relatives. Make your table more organized and a convenient work space with this mug pen and pencil holder.
This tutorial is based from what I learned when I attended Scrap 'n Tell workshop hosted by Filstar Distributors Corporations. They are the licensed distributor of BIC, Hallmark, Celebrations Balloons and All About Scrapbooking. Art Attack products are now available too in the Philippines.

1. Get a carton/cardboard measuring 3 inches by 13.5 inches. Using your scissors, gently score each line of the cardboard. Make sure it wont cut the other side. The purpose of scoring is to make your cardboard bendable.
2. On one end, measure 2 inches and scrape some layers from the scored portion leaving a thin intact layer of the carton. Put glue on this layer. Bic Glue Pen is perfect to use with papers, cards and many more.
3. Bend the carton and glue one side to the other to make the a cylinder. Wait until it dries. This will serve as the body of the mug pencil holder.
4. To make the base of the pencil holder, trace the bottom of the cylinder on a piece of cardboard. Set it aside.
5. Cut a piece of paper or foam sheet that is an inch bigger from the carton. Put glue on the paper/foam sheet and wrap it over the cylinder. Foam sheet is a special type of paper from All About Scrapbooking which is elastic and rubberized making it more durable and a versatile material.
6. While waiting for the glue to dry, cut the traced circle and put glue at the edge. Slowly drag it inside of the cylinder and push until it is positioned on the base. Wait until it dries.
7. Put glue on the edge of the sheet and fold it inwards. After covering the body and putting the base of the pencil holder, wait until the glue dries and proceed to the holder.
8. Cut a strip of paper.
9. Cover the metal holder with the foam sheet by twisting it all over. The metal holder is available at the any All About Scrapbooking store.
10. Attach the holder to the body using a glue gun.
11. Your mug pencil holder is almost done. Decorate your pencil holder and make it more personalized. Be creative.
And now you're done with your mug pencil holder. Place your pens and pencils on it. The mug pencil holder is now ready to sit on your desk or give away as a personalized gift.
