Materials and tools:

- awl;
- narrow green ribbon;
- needle;
- sticker;
- scissors.
1. Cut off the top part of the bottle with scissors or a sharp knife. The length of the pencil is approximately 16 cm, so the height of the remaining part of the bottle should be at least 25 cm.
2. Place a saucer on top of the cut part of the bottle so that its edge coincides with the edge of the bottle.
3. Using a felt-tip pen, trace the edge of half the saucer.
4. Using scissors, cut the edges of the bottle along the drawn line.
5. We apply the saucer again, but now we outline its lower edge with a felt-tip pen.
6. Along the line, cut only one side of the bottle.
7. Bend the flap on top so that the cut edges match. The result is a pencil box with a lid.
8. Now let's start decorating the pencil holder.First, cover the cut edges with tape to protect yourself from cuts from sharp edges. Using a heated awl, we make punctures along the edge of the lid.
9. In the same way we make holes at the bottom of the bottle.
10. We thread the green ribbon through a large needle and “stitch” it over the edge along the holes on the lid. You can use any color ribbon if you wish.
11. In the same way we “stitch” the bottom of the pencil holder.
12. The final touch to decorating the box will be a sticker; it is self-adhesive. We fix it in the center of the product.
13. You can store more than just pencils in a pencil holder. It is perfect for storing pens, markers, scissors, erasers, compasses, etc.
