The moment we saw this pencil holder on Anthropologie, we knew we had to make one of our own. While $48 isn’t totally crazy in terms of price, it’s pretty easy to create something similar using a few simple, affordable materials you might already have at home. After all, a well-organized workspace is a happy one!
Materials:
– acrylic paint
– spray shellac
– 1 wooden board
– 3-4 vases
– super glue for wood
First, gather all your materials. We chose teals and blues inspired by the original Anthropologie caddy.
Now, paint your vases. You’ll need to paint 2-3 coats for a nice opaque shade.
Let vases dry. Add a layer of spray shellac to avoid paint chipping in the future.
Now, time to paint the wooden board. Again, this will take a couple coats. Let everything dry for an hour and then glue!! Let glue dry overnight and then fill with pencils!
