With summer coming to an end and back-to-school preparations in full swing, we decided to craft up a simple pencil holder to help get organized!

This colorful craft comes together incredibly quickly, plus it's easy for all ages and a fun way to recycle.

You Will Need:

  • rainbow-colored popsicle sticks (available at craft and dollar stores)
  • glue
  • paint brush
  • empty can

An empty bean can, paintbrush, rainbow-coloured popsicle sticks and white glue.

Instructions:

1. Squeeze some glue into a small container and paint a strip of glue onto the tin. Messy fun!

Happy creating!
