Pencil tins + How To Make Them! (yay)

Check out these really sweet pencil holders I made on the weekend! If you like them too, here's how to make 'em!


Difficulty: (=^;^=) (=^;^=) (=^;^=) 3 out of 5 kitty cats

FOR THE TWO SMALLER ONES:
U will need:
Two baked beans tins
Some brown butchers paper (or a brown lunch bag!)
Some pretty patterned paper (i used pink leopard print and white/yellow zigzag paper)
Double-sided tape (you can get this at most craft stores!)

How To Make Them:
1. Using a tape measure, measure the width around the tin. Then, using a ruler, measure the height of the tin.
2. Cut the brown paper to these sizes. TIP: Cut off a little bit extra just in case!
3. Cover the tin in brown paper by wrapping it around the tin. This might be a little bit tricky!
4. Do the same with the patterned paper, but make sure it is cut half the height of the tin.
5. Stick it on the top half of the tin, over the brown paper. Voila!

FOR THE BIGGER ONE:
U will need:
A large tin (like a Milo tin)
Patterned paper (I used floral!)

How To Make It:
It is exactly the same as the smaller tin, except you don't need the brown paper and the tin will obviously be bigger, so the paper will need to be bigger too!

Cute!
