Craft 101 - Pen organizer

Cluttered desk because of pens or you have plenty of that so that when your kids need pens in school you will not be going to the bookstore just to buy some.  I have the solution for your problem because I myself experienced that I just place boxes of ballpens and pencils just anywhere.  For this project, I used recycled materials found in my room.

What you need?

an empty box with the flip-top portion cut
pair of scissors
craft scissor to design the label
permanent mark pen
scotch tape
used gift wrapper
paste

What to do?

1.  When the flip-top portion of the box is cut, wrap the box using the used gift wrapper.  You can make designs with the wrapper.

2.  Prepare the label by cutting a portion of the gift wrapper using a craft scissor just enough to accommodate the letters that you are going to write.
3.  When done, paste the label on the box depending on the style and which side you want it to be pasted.
4.  Place your pens inside the box and keep the box in your desk or at any place you want it to be kept as long as you can see it when you need the pens.

You can also make box organizers for other things such as medicines, first aid kit, toys and many more.  Just use your creative hands and minds and you will be surprised - you recycled some materials, you cleared up the cluttered desk and you organized your things.
