Hey little artists! 🎨
Do you love collecting colourful pens, pencils, and markers? Us too! But where do you keep them all? Don’t worry — today, we’re making a super cool pen holder using an empty plastic bottle and your creativity!

Let’s turn trash into treasure! ♻️✨

🧰 What You’ll Need:

• 1 small empty plastic bottle
• 1 coloured paper (your favourite colour!)
• Glue stick
• Marker
• Scissors or a paper cutter (ask an adult to help)
• Thermocol balls, sequins, or small beads (pick whatever you like!)

🛠️ Let’s Get Crafty!

Step 1:
Use a marker to draw a line around the bottle about 4 to 5 inches from the bottom. That’s how tall your pen holder will be!

Step 2:
With the help of an adult, cut the bottle carefully along the line. ✂️

Step 3:
Wrap a measuring tape (or string) around the bottle to measure its size. Then cut out a circle from your coloured paper to match the bottom of the bottle. Also cut a strip from the same paper — about 1 cm wide and 6 inches long.

Step 4:
Glue the strip around the circle to make a little wall — this will look like the base of your pen holder. 🏺

Step 5:
Now cut a rectangle from the coloured paper (same as the bottle’s height and slightly shorter than its width). Roll it into a cylinder and place it inside the bottle. Leave a small gap around the edge — this is where your decorations will go!

Step 6:
Fill the space between the paper and the bottle with fun stuff — thermocol balls, shiny sequins, or pretty beads. 🌈✨

Step 7:
Make another paper circle and strip just like before, but this time, cut a hole in the center of the circle — that’s where your pens will go in!

Step 8:
Glue this on top of the bottle to keep your decorations inside and hold your pens in place. 🎉

And just like that — your awesome bottle pen holder is ready to sit proudly on your desk! 🖊️
You can decorate it more with stickers, glitter, or drawings — make it totally YOU!
