DIY Pen Organizer

5 Materials

I’ve always loved August because it meant back to school time and back to school means new SCHOOL SUPPLIES! Stores are full of new notebooks, planners, and pens. I always loved perusing the back to school sections of the store. I’m a Type A person and love a handwritten to do list. I’ve started to color code my calendar and to do list so I can stay better organized. I’ve shared a lot lately about how I organize my newly finished home office and craft room and I’m adding another DIY to the long list of projects completed for that room. I used PVC, scrap wood, and a little spray paint to create a fun DIY pen organizer!

Materials:
2 inch PVC Pipe (You can get 2 foot sections)
Wood (I used scrap wood)
Spray Paint (I used Krylon Ballet Slipper)
Glue (I used Liquid Nails)
Painter’s Tape
Sandpaper

Tools:
Miter Saw
Cut your PVC pipe. I didn’t use exact measurements, just divided the 2 foot pipe into 5 uneven sections. I set the miter saw to cut at a 20 degree angle. Remember to cut so that each section has a flat bottom; you’ll have to alternate where you make the angled cuts. Sand off any rough edges.

    I made mine using the stiff cardboard inserts from an old box of foil. I cut them, wrapped them in contact paper and glued them to a scrap piece of wood I had painted. Then I wrapped the whole arrangement in a burlap ribbon. Looks good and it's free.
