Pencil Holder
Here’s a way to keep track of all those pencils you keep losing! This
pencil holder is not just any old pencil holder, this one comes with a
twist, or should I say, a spin! We designed this one so it spins on its
base. This really comes in handy when you’ve got it loaded up with
colored pencils and you’re trying to find just the
right color.
There are not a lot of parts to this project and it’s
fairly straight forward to build, but you need to be
sure you complete each step before moving on to
the next. Let’s get started!
