Stand for papers. How to make a stand out of paper Decorate a pencil holder with ice cream sticks

To maintain order on your home desktop, you need to purchase, or even better, make your own stands for pencils, pens, scissors and other office supplies. A pencil stand will allow you to always keep writing objects at hand, rather than looking for them in the corners of bottomless desk drawers. In addition, you can involve children in making a pencil holder, who will bring something new and interesting to its design. In this review, we will show you various stands for stationery that you can easily make yourself. All you have to do is choose a suitable idea and bring it to life.

1. Pencil stand made from cut wood.

To implement the idea, you need to prepare a low frame of wood, then remove the inner part with a chisel and install pencils inside.

2. Pencil holder made from sewer pipes.

Using a jigsaw or hand saw, we cut sewer pipes of different diameters into small pieces. We glue each of the segments in a row onto a short, thin board (the board, as well as all the pipe segments, can first be spray-painted in shades that match each other).

3. Pencil in a vest.

Cut out a triangular piece of “shirt” from white felt and glue it to a tin of coffee or canned fruit. Then take a layer of gray felt, cut out a rectangle from it along the circumference of the can, in front, cut out a triangle to the size of the pasted white “shirt”, folding the edges and stitching with threads to the collar area. Glue the “vest” onto a tin can, use a blue marker to draw a tie on a white shirt, or cut it out of blue felt.

4. How to make a vintage style pencil holder.

Cover the tin can with pink fabric, then top, bottom and center with a beautiful lace ribbon. On the end part, glue pre-purchased accessories in the form of a flower with pearls (sold in sewing shops).

5. How to decorate a pencil holder with buttons.

Method number 1. We take an ordinary small glass jar of baby puree, then string red and white buttons onto a thin elastic band, tie the ends of the elastic into a knot, and put the resulting composition on the neck of the jar.

Method No. 2. Glue buttons of different sizes onto a tin can (the color can also be any), then paint the product from the can in gold or paint it in a brick tone and shade it with gold.

6. DIY pencil stand decorated with twine.

We take a tin can, cover it with a layer of transparent glue, and wrap it around it, tightly joining the threads to each other. Finally, you can stick a bow on the front of the product.

7. Pencil made from tree bark.

Carefully remove the bark from a dry tree and glue it to a glass or metal jar.

8. How to make pencil holders from toilet paper tubes.

We put vertical marks on each tube and cut the fringe along them. We apply PVA glue to each petal of the fringe, and glue all the tubes to a layer of cardboard. Then with a marker we draw faces on the front of the stand.

9. Pencils with decorative primer.

We glue a plain sheet of paper onto a tin can, which we then cover with decorative stones.

10. Marine style pencil.

We take several paper towel tubes and place them on a base cut out of cardboard. We cover each tube with white napkins, forming large folds (you need to glue the napkins with PVA glue). Then we glue the tubes to a cardboard stand and paint them with water-based blue, yellow and orange paint (you can mix white water-based paint with different colors of gouache, in this case you need to mix white with orange, white with blue and white with yellow). Finally, we glue plastic fish, starfish, shells and artificial algae to the stand; all this can be bought at a pet store.

11. Pencil holder made from pencils.

We cut off the sharpened parts of the pencils; you can cut them with a stationery knife or use a jigsaw. We place the bottom row of pencils on the cardboard tightly to each other, and glue each pencil. Then we begin to lay out the walls, place two pencils on the sides and glue them to the base, we also glue pencils in opposite parts, and continue this until the height of the pencil holder is satisfied with its appearance.

12. Pencil box decorated with burlap.

Glue a piece of burlap onto a tin can and glue flowers formed from light linen fabric around the perimeter of the neck.

13. Cover the pencil holder with wallpaper or craft paper.

We cut off a part from the wallpaper or craft paper corresponding to the size of the tin can, and simply glue the resulting part to the can.

14. Pencil holder in a shirt.

From white felt we cut out a rectangle corresponding to the length of the diameter of the tin can, make a cut of about 2 cm in the center, glue the collar to the can, cut in front, join at the back, bend the collar. Cut a rectangle from an unnecessary shirt and glue it onto the jar on top of the collar. Glue buttons to the front and tie a tiny tie from a matching ribbon.

15. How to make a pencil holder from floppy disks.

In four floppy disks, you need to melt holes with a hot awl, in each floppy disk there are 4 holes (two on the sides and two on the bottom), in the bottom, fifth floppy disk we make 8 holes, the awl needs to be heated over a candle (be careful). Then we form a cube from floppy disks without a top part, we connect all the parts to each other with flexible wire, connecting its ends in the inner part of the product.

16. DIY pencil holder made from a shampoo bottle.

We cut the shampoo bottle in half, but not in the middle, but higher; the cut line can be smooth, round or in the form of cones (this will be the hair of the future monster). We cut out handles from the upper unnecessary part and glue them to the lower part. We glue the mouth of the future monster from black paper, and eyes and teeth from white paper. You can glue Velcro to the back and secure the monster pencil holder to the wall.

17. Vintage style pencil with lace.

We glue satin fabric onto a circle of cardboard and glue lace along the edge of the podium. In the center of the circle we glue paper towel tubes of different lengths. We decorate them with fabric, lace and artificial pearls. Closer to the edge we install a mannequin cut out of cardboard and also decorated with lace, ribbons and beads. We place a figurine of a bird in the center, and on the other edge we place a small photo frame made in a suitable style.

18. Pencil from a catalogue.

We divide the flexible catalog into five identical parts, lay it sideways, bend all five parts to the center, in the form of flower petals, gluing them with transparent glue. Apply a layer of glue along the top of the pages so that the pages do not fall apart. Finally, the product can be painted with spray paint and the unflattering parts can be decorated with beads or lace.

19. Decorate a pencil holder with ice cream sticks.

We glue the ice cream sticks onto two strips, then glue the resulting picket fence to a tin can. We complement the product with a wide ribbon tied on the outer part.

20. Decorate a pencil holder with fabric.

We cut out rectangles from thick fabric corresponding to the size of the selected tin can. Then we decorate each piece with machine stitching and contrasting color threads. We sew the cover along the inside, turn it inside out and put it on the jar.

21. Pencil made from a tree trunk.

We saw off a small part from dry wood with a saw, then use a drill to create many holes in the upper part of the stump, into which we install pencils.

Unusual industrial pencil holders.

We also decided to show various factory-made pencil holders, some of them are really impressive. Below you can see what stylish and unusual stands for stationery there are; they come in the form of: camera lenses, monsters, hedgehogs, balls, Rubik's cubes, imitate stacks of folded paper, garbage containers, etc.

Today we showed you how to make a pencil holder, and even more than one! Such beautiful pencil holders will not only put your workplace in order, but also significantly embellish it. Try making them together with your children; we assure you, the kids will be delighted.

The master class is designed for students in grades 4-6, with the aim of using waste material.

Purpose of the master class: teach students how to make a magazine stand, provide information about the step-by-step sequence of making the product; develop robotic skills with cardboard, napkins, glue, varnish; develop thinking, attention, creative imagination, memory; to cultivate children’s aesthetic taste and interest in design.

When we shop, we have no idea how useful cardboard packaging boxes can be in everyday life. Corrugated cardboard, in addition to its strength, is an environmentally friendly material, which allows it to be used in decoration. One of such decors can be a cardboard stand for folders. It is economical, easy to create, and its functionality depends on your creativity. Thus, we invite you to try yourself in creating an interesting and unusual piece of furniture, like a cardboard stand for folders.

We will need:

Carton boxes,

Scissors,

Pencil,

PVA glue,

White napkins, napkin with motif,

Brush, wide brush (painting brush),

A bowl for diluting glue with water,

White acrylic paint (or white gouache diluted with PVA glue in equal proportions),

Foam rubber (piece of sponge),

Colored acrylic paints or gouache,

Interior acrylic varnish (glossy).

Progress

1. Take a cardboard box and mark the cut location on one side with a pencil. Let's cut it off. For symmetry, place the cut out part on the other side, mark it with a pencil and also cut it off.

2. If the cardboard box is thin, for strength we glue cardboard or a cardboard box selected according to size from the middle. If desired, you can make compartments using the lid of a shoe box, gluing it around the edges. The cardboard can be cut, unfolded, and selected according to the size of the box. Design, fantasize!

3. We tear the napkins into strips with our hands. We start gluing the box from the top, and then the sides. With your left hand we fold the strip into pleats (drape it), and with a brush, holding it in your right hand, glue the strip along the edges with PVA glue and water (diluted equally). We glue the strip partly to save volume

4. A draped box comes out.

5. Paint the box with a wide brush. To easily paint the sides from the bottom of the box, place it on a board or some smaller object. We wait until the paint dries (approximately 10 hours)

6. Choose a napkin. We cut out the motif with nail scissors and separate the top layer of the napkin. We won't need the other two layers without a pattern for our work.

7. Using PVA glue, glue the motif from the napkin.

8. Using a sponge and a small amount of yellow acrylic paint diluted equally with water, lightly apply the background. We are waiting for it to dry.

9. Slightly blur the background using a sponge and black acrylic paint (or red, as in another version of the stand), diluted equally with water.

10. Using green (for the stem, leaves of the flower) and red (for petals) acrylic paints, paint on small elements.

11. Using a wide brush, coat the stand with acrylic varnish and let dry. After drying (the varnish does not stick when touched with your fingers), the stand can be used for its intended purpose.

12. These are the stands you get.

13. If you use napkins, stencils and acrylic putty you will get exclusive coasters

1. Prepare cardboard. If you have boxes, straighten them.

2. Now you need to make a hexagon from a sheet of cardboard. To do this, you need to make additional folds, one on each of the two largest sides of the cardboard.

3. Place the box flat and make a couple of cuts (see image) so that the top parts of the shape can be folded towards the center.

It is possible to set up your own workplace using various types of devices. For fans of handicrafts, it will be interesting to create such accessories with your own hands. For example, you can make a pencil stand. This will not require too much effort from you and will not become too complicated, but the result of your work will certainly please you.

What will you need for work?

Take an ordinary square sheet of paper, for example, measuring 21x21 centimeters, as well as rhinestones or other decorative elements that will be needed for decoration, and stationery or PVA glue.

Advice

Before starting work, it is advisable to study the instructions or watch the master class.

How to make a pencil holder with your own hands

First, fold the sheet in half. Thus, its midline was designated. Now you need to bend both sides to it. On the spread you can see that the sheet is divided by folds into 4 equal parts. We repeat the same thing in the other direction. Ultimately, the paper sheet is divided into 16 identical squares. We bend those located in the corners, thus turning them into triangles. We bend the lower edges of the workpiece upward. On the contrary, the upper edge will need to be folded down. All sides will need to be folded towards the center. All that remains is to insert the left edge of the workpiece into its right edge. The result was one of 6 modules of the future paper pencil holder. After this, you will need to make 5 more exactly the same blanks. Each of them will represent a separate element of our stand. When they are all ready, you can start gluing. To do this, apply glue to the side of one of the modules, then connect it to the second module. It will be necessary to glue all the modules together. After successfully completing this stage, all that remains is to decorate the product at your own discretion. Alternatively, this can be done using colored rhinestones or appliqués.

Paper dish stand

Many people at work or at home have a large accumulation of stacks of unnecessary, long-viewed, glossy magazines. In that case, why not give them a second chance to exist? For example, you can make a coaster out of them. Simply put, what you don’t need shouldn’t be thrown away; it’s better to use it in another role. So, we take 6 sheets from the magazine. If the edges are torn, then carefully cut them off. After this, cut all the sheets of paper in half lengthwise. Take one piece of paper and fold it in half lengthwise to get narrow strips. Then we fold it again so that the cut edges are hidden inside the strip. Now the resulting long paper strips need to be folded in half again in the center so that it looks like the letter “G”. Then we place one strip crosswise under the other, then bend it in half. We add strips on each side in turn, intertwining them along the way. When the row is completed, some strips will need to be wrapped on the outside. Simply fold them in the opposite direction, placing them under the nearest cross strip. You need to press all the paper components tightly against each other. Such stands can be painted after weaving is completed, or left in their original form - this is a matter of taste and personal preference.

Making a Paper File Holder

Advice

Shipping boxes make an excellent file holder.

To make such a useful accessory with your own hands, you will need, in fact, the cardboard boxes and scissors themselves, as well as a pencil and PVA or stationery glue. For decoration, white napkins will be useful, as well as 1 napkin with a motif. You will need regular and wide brushes and a container for diluting glue with water. You will also need white acrylic paint, or white gouache previously diluted with PVA glue. It is necessary to stir in equal proportions. You can decorate the box with colored, acrylic paints or gouache, and cover the top with interior acrylic, glossy varnish. You just need to cut out the layout and glue all its components together, decorating them with a pattern from a napkin, and also painting them with paints.

Conclusion:

Paper can be used to make many useful things, including many different coasters for dishes, folders, or pencils. Making these things is a creative process that is sure to be fun without being too difficult.

Agree that in a work mess there is absolutely no room for a lot of pieces of paper with notes that might come in handy someday. You always put them in one place, but they end up scattered all over the table. This was the case for me, until I decided to make a stand for papers using the cardboard technique and a master class at the same time. The stand, of course, also serves to store clean paper. It's amazing what useful things you can create with cardboard, fabric and glue. The manufacturing technique is simple, you just need to be patient and careful.

To create a stand you need to prepare:
cardboard - 2 mm thickness; fabric, preferably 100% cotton; PVA glue; whatman; glue "Moment Crystal/Universal"; stationery knife; scissors; glue brush; masking tape; pencil; ruler.

Cut out the cardboard blanks to the required size using a stationery knife.

First, let's assemble three sides measuring 9x9 cm (two walls and the bottom of the stand), applying glue to the edges of the bottom. To ensure that the wall is at a right angle, you can adjust it by supporting it with a corner.

Glue the back wall of the stand.

We take any round object and trace it on the blanks for the small front walls so that we get a beveled corner.

Glue the small parts by applying glue to the edges of the walls and bottom.

This is what the glued corners of the stand should look like.

Masking tape is needed to secure the entire structure. We seal all the joints inside and outside the stand with it. Using a stack, smooth out the tape so that there are no wrinkles.

We iron a piece of fabric measuring 39x13 cm. We will glue the fabric to the walls of the stand, as if wrapping it around it. Apply a very thin layer of glue to the first wall. If you apply too much, the glue may penetrate the fabric and leave marks, or the cardboard may become deformed.

We glue this wall to the fabric. We make sure that the wall lies exactly in the center and there are indentations.

We glue all three walls, carefully adding small ones. We smooth the surface with a stack so that there are no blisters on the fabric.

We cut the corners at an acute angle at the bottom of the stand. We seal the indentations. First you need to make cuts on the fabric in the places where the small walls end. We do not cut off the excess fabric; we will use it to seal the inside of the walls.

In the same way, we cut and glue the corners of the upper part of the stand of the rear and side walls.

Now let's prepare the fabric in the front part to beautifully cover the small walls.

At the bottom, we evenly cut off the excess fabric to the level of the upper part of the bottom.

We make cuts accordingly.

First, glue the top corner, braiding it around the perimeter of the rounded part. If excess folds appear, you can make small cuts by gluing them on top of each other. Let's bend and glue a piece of fabric that remains superfluous, but just serves the purpose so that the edges of the fabric are not visible. We carefully glue the last part, forming a flat surface and corners with a stack.
