DIY: Fuzzy Pen Holder
Materials:
Empty soup can
Chenille stems
Pompoms
Sand Paper
Glue
Directions:
1. Clean and dry soup the can. (I prefer the pop-open kind to avoid uneven sharp edges). Sand any sharp edges and set aside.
2. Wrap the can with chenille stems. Attach stems to each other by twisting one end of a stem to another.
3. Glue the pompoms on the can and decorate. (I use glue dots instead of regular glue because it’s less messier compared to liquid glue).
