Paper roll pencil organizer

This project can also be a great back to school supplies organizer. Kids can
keep in their lockers or on their table when working. Its a great school
project for teaching kids to recycle.
You can use this to organize:
Office supplies, kids crayons, paint brushes and more.
Pattern paper and Mod Podge, is all you need to make this.
YOU WILL NEED:

Paper roll
Scissors
X-Acto Knife and self-healing mat
Pattern/scrapbook paper
Mod podge

Recycle toilet paper roll

MAKE IT:

Cut the toilet paper roll into different random sizes using the x-acto
knife.

Make sure none is taller than the pencils or the pens. The tallest one in my
design is for keeping the paint brushes.

Choose and arrange different scrapbook papers to see how they look
together.
I used green and blue to match my boys room.

Next cut the paper to the tubes size.

The simplest way to do this is by rolling the paper over the tissue roll. And
mark the length and width of the roll. Once you have marked all the papers, it
is easy to cut them to the right sizes. Make sure you leave some extra width,
more is better than less.

Now paint the inside of the tissue roll with acrylic paints.
I painted it black, you can paint it white or any other color you like.
Let it dry, than decoupage scrapbook paper onto the tubes using
Mod Podge Matte.

Next cover the paper with Mod Podge to seal it. Let it dry, and then
join the tubes together using mod podge.
Hold the tubes together for a while for a stronger bond. (as shown in the
picture)

Finally to make the base of the organizer, cut and paint a piece of
cardboard.

Glue the base to the tissue rolls and let it dry.

I used mod podge to glue the base also.

Cut the base around the tissue rolls with the x-acto knife.
You will need some paint touches on the edges.

The best part about this recycled organizer is you can design it anyway you
want.
