Now let’s prepare the straws. For this we take a few straws and cut only the central part, cutting each straw to a slightly different length. Then we apply the straws over the entire surface of the rolls arranging them vertically and alternating them according to their length: first a short one, then a long one and so on.Finally, we use hot glue< to stick the straws< to the rollers<;.The base of our pen holder is then ready;. ;
Decoration: wool flowers
The next step is to make some woolen flowers to make the recycled pen holder even more creative;.For this we take a woolen thread and a pen;.We tie a small knot around the opening and wrap the thread 12 times. Then, using a needle, we close the cylinder of wool that has formed around the opening.

Then you remove the cylinder from the body of the pen and roll it up to form a small circle. By opening the thread wide, it forms a flower that you can always finish using a needle. Finally, we sew a pearl in the center of the flower to make it even more complete and beautiful.
In this way we can make several wool flowers which we will then stick with hot glue on the surface of the pen holder covered with straws. As for the arrangement of the flowers, you can let your imagination run wild.
This is where our recycled pen holder comes complete. It can be a useful item on your table to keep your pens and pencils in order. The fact that it is made from waste materials such as toilet paper rolls and straws also makes it eco-friendly and sustainable.
Making a recycled pen holder can be a fun and creative activity to do even with the little ones, to educate them while having fun.
