DIY desk storage:)

Hellö again,

This is a different sort of post for me today, but I've been tidying up my whole room for the last week and I decided to make some DIY to put on my desk/inside my cupboard on the school shelf. They are one of the easiest things to make and the "preparation time" is really up to how quick you do cover the pen pots.

List of things you need:
- a range of plastic/glass tubes (a pringles tube, kitchen roll tube, gravy pots etc.) I advise you to use plastic because it won't break as easily or won't get damaged if it gets wet.
- a range of coloured paper/wallpaper/wrapping paper
- pva glue/sellotape
- paintbrush
- newspaper (optional if you don't want mess then it would be beneficial)
- water
- stanley knife/sharp scissors/a really sharp knife
- a sharpie

The Pringles Tube.. (dun dun duuuun)
So for a pringles tube pen/stationery pot you will probably want to cut it into two, or you could cut it into more but I cut it into two. You will want to do this because or else you will have to reach in to grab your smaller pencils and pens and it can be really annoying having to tip them all out just to find hat really old grubby pencil that is now shorter than the length of your little finger but it's your favourite pencil and you just want to use that one. No, just me, oh okay then:(

What you'll then want to do is take your halves and find the end with the lid. All I did was tape the lid to the tube so it was secure, therefore it is not going to have a hole in the bottom and let all the pens fall out. Once you have the bottom taped up, flip it so that it is on it side. Then measure the amount of paper you will need to use for your pen pots; leave space for overhand so you can fold it in to the pot, giving it a more secure hold. Cut around the length and then cover your pot, outside and the top sections of the inside. You then need to take your papers and cover the Pringles tube. Any overhang may be easier to stick with sellotape as it is a funny angle. It is probably better to leave this to dry overnight but at least 3 hours for the glue to dry. And there you can make two cute easy pen pots to fit lots of pens, makeup brushes or just little necessities you want them to hold.

You can then just repeat the steps above with different tubes that are all shapes and sizes. 

Thanks for reading,

See you soon, goodbye :)
