Newspaper Pen Organizer - pens, pencils, glue, and marker in organizer I had nothing to do with an old newspaper insert so I decided to create a simple pen organizer out of it. It will take a little longer rolling the paper, but it's actually fun to do.

Supplies:

old newspapers
scissors
white glue/hot glue
ruler
marker
a piece of thin stick or pen removed from case

Steps:

Cut newspapers into squares.

Get the base and apply glue around the edge.

Place and curl the body on top of the base. When using liquid glue press it and hold for a few minutes to stick. It's best to use hot glue or super glue as it dries faster.

Newspaper Pen Organizer - take glued rolls and shape to fit as you stick down to the base

Use clippings if you need to add more rolls to close in the whole thing.

It will be ready when it holds together and stands firm.
