Afonin Denis, 6th grade student of MKOU "Batkovskaya Basic School"Supervisor: Mamaev Oleg Vladimirovich, teacher of history and social studies, MKOU "Batkovskaya basic school", Ryazan region, Sasovsky district, Batki village
Purpose and description:
The master class is intended for teachers and students, as well as for all those who love needlework and create original and useful crafts from available materials. The craft is an origami model of a stationery stand made using self-adhesive film and stickers.
Degree of originality:
Paper origami model "Pen stand" is not an invention of the author, a description of its assembly is easy to find on the Internet. However, Denis's creative innovation, associated with the use of stickers and a self-adhesive film for a special paper coating, seemed so interesting to us that we decided to publish a master class of a radically updated craft, which has significant advantages compared to its paper counterpart: in addition to the number of aesthetic properties, the stand has greater technical strength and external solidity - it can decorate not only the student's table, but will also be appropriate on the desktop of a teacher or other adult.
Target:
Production of a stand for pens from a self-adhesive film.
Materials:
Seven sheets of A4 paper, one thick sheet of A4 paper (or a sheet of cardboard), superglue, scissors, fountain pen, ruler, stapler ...
... a decorative self-adhesive film divided into six squares with a side size of 25 centimeters ...
...album with stickers.
Master class progress
1. From six rectangular sheets of paper, we need to make six square sheets. For this purpose, we take one sheet of paper and bend the corner to the side. Cut off the triangle along the dotted line.
2. We open the triangle and get the finished square. In the same way we make the remaining five squares.
3. Take one self-adhesive and separate the paper layer.
4. Carefully stick the self-adhesive on a square sheet.
5. Smooth out the wrinkles with a ruler.
6. Turn the workpiece over to the other side and cut off the side strips of the film protruding beyond the borders of the square.
7. The square is ready: one side is covered with a film, the other remains open. Glue the remaining five squares in the same way.
8. We take one square and bend it in half twice.
9. We make four even folds along the blue dotted lines.
10. Result: a large square is divided into 16 small ones (4 squares on each side).
11. Bend the corners of the four outermost small squares highlighted in the top picture.
12. Along the red dotted lines, we bend the upper and lower parts of the workpiece to the center (to the blue dotted line).
13. Result.
14. Turn the workpiece over to the other side and bend its side parts to the center (to the red dotted line).
15. Result.
16. We insert one "pocket" of the workpiece into another.
17. Result. One element for the stand is ready. In the same way we make five more elements.
18. Now we need to make six blank liners for each element. To this end, we take the seventh sheet of paper and cut out six rectangles from it with side sizes of 5 and 9 centimeters. As you can see in the picture, ten correct inserts can be made from a regular sheet (the eleventh and twelfth inserts, marked with crosses, are slightly smaller).
19. Cut out six inserts.
20. Insert the inserts into all six elements.
21. Open the album with stickers (in this case we use stickers with dinosaurs) and choose the picture you like and rather compact.
22. Remove the sticker from the album and stick it in the "window" of one of the elements.
23. Result. In the same way we decorate all other elements.
24. We connect the two elements together and sew them with a stapler.
25. Staples for stitching should not be spared. In the picture, the elements are connected by ten brackets: four on the right, four on the left, one at the top in the middle and one at the bottom in the middle.
26. After stitching the elements with a stapler, a small hollow remains between them on the outside. To remove it, lubricate the open surface of the side face of one of the elements with superglue.
27. Firmly press the elements for 15-20 seconds. This is enough to firmly bind the elements to each other.
28. Add the remaining four elements to the workpiece, stitching them in turn with a stapler and gluing them with superglue. Result.
29. To make a solid bottom for the stand, take a thick sheet of paper and cut off half of it. Then we turn the stand with the bottom towards us and grease all the edges of the base with superglue.
30. We press the stand to the cut of thick paper and put some kind of load on top (for example, a book). We wait a few minutes until the glue dries.
31. When the glue dries, take the scissors and cut off the excess paper along the edges of the stand.
32. The stand is ready! Fill it up with stationery.
33. Another coaster with a softer design and crabs stickers.
Even if it is not customary in your household to have a lot of stationery, and the children have long grown out of school age, you probably have a few pens and pencils stocked up for household needs. Where are they stored? Just lying in a drawer, risking to flood its bottom with a sudden leak of ink? Or sticking out of a nondescript jar of mayonnaise or fruit jelly? Perhaps it's time to organize the storage of stationery and make a special accessory for them with your own hands. The original stand for pens, made of available materials with your own hands, will be an excellent decoration for your desktop both at home and at work.
Fashion jars
If deep down you are still sure that the best storage for pencils and ballpoint pens is a regular jar, reconsider your views on product design. Is it really pleasant for you to contemplate industrial transparent plastic or an unremarkable tin? A stand for pens, created literally from nothing with your own hands, can consist of just such a jar - you just need to add a unique decor and trendy colors to spice up your ugly stationery bin. Tin cans can be dyed and wrapped with fluffy yarn or stylish twine, plastic cans can be pasted over with colorful clippings from glossy magazines. Not only paper and yarn will do: threads of any kind, fabrics and artificial felt, rhinestones, beads, and even some decorative elements originally intended for nail design are great for decorating such coasters. Who knows, suddenly a real artist lives in you, and you do not give him a single chance to prove himself in business?
Practical Vanguard
Oddly enough, many household items can make a wonderful pen holder. Make an extraordinary vault with your own hands by sticking crayons into a clothes brush or into the holes of an ordinary vegetable grater. In the latter case, each item will have its own place, and you no longer have to look around the house for a single pen that is not in the set.
natural materials
If you prefer natural raw materials and natural shades inherent in natural materials, you will surely like coasters made of wood or cork. They are made according to the same principle. Find a piece of wood or a few round pieces of cork that is suitable in shape and size and drill holes for stationery in the selected base. If you use will need to glue a few parts together. As a result, you will get an unusual accessory for storing pencils and similar trifles, made in the style of "rustic chic" and reminiscent of the relationship between man and nature.
flight of fantasy
You are surrounded by countless objects and materials - and each can make a unique pen holder. With your own hands, you can knit a special case for a simple can of canned peas - why not an idea for those who know how to handle knitting needles or crochet? Children and teenagers will certainly appreciate coasters braided with colorful Fanny Lum rubber bands, and more conservative relatives and friends will certainly be surprised if you glue old and unnecessary colored pencils or felt-tip pens over glass or tin jars. Removable decor can be made by stringing large colorful buttons on ordinary textile elastic bands.
How about making a stationery organizer out of a magazine or diary? Even your old large format notebook will do - especially if it no longer has room for new lines. Simply rip out as many whole pages as you can, stack them, and cut two holes. Place two small tin cans inside the stack. Find a suitable bottom for the organizer (a piece of thick cardboard will do) and put pencils and markers inside the jars. Such an unusual paper pen stand is sure to attract the admiring attention of your friends or colleagues.
Go for it - your imagination will certainly tell you how to create a truly unique thing.
To maintain order on your home desktop, you need to purchase, or even better, make your own coasters for pencils, pens, scissors and other stationery. A pencil holder will allow you to always keep writing objects at hand, and not look for them in the corners of the bottomless desk drawers. In addition, children can be involved in the manufacture of a pencil box, who will bring something new and interesting to its design. In this review, we will show various stationery stands that you can easily make yourself, you just have to choose the right idea and bring it to life.
1. Stand for pencils made of cut wood.
To implement the idea, it is necessary to prepare a low log cabin of a tree, after which remove its inner part with a chisel and install pencils inside.
2. Pencil from sewer pipes.
We cut sewer pipes of different diameters into small segments with a jigsaw or hand saw. We paste each of the segments in a row on a short thin board (previously, the board, as well as all pipe sections, can be painted from a spray can in shades that match each other).
3. Pencil in a vest.
Cut out a triangular piece of “shirt” from white felt, glue it to a can of coffee or canned fruit. Then you take a layer of gray felt, cut out a rectangle from it along the circumference of the can, in front, cut out a triangle according to the size of the glued white “shirt”, bending the edges and stitching it with threads to the collar area. Stick the "vest" on a tin can, draw a tie with a blue marker on a white shirt or cut it out of blue felt.
4. How to make a vintage style pencil holder.
Paste the tin can with a pink cloth, then tie it around the top, bottom and center with a beautiful lace ribbon. On the end part, glue the 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 from under baby puree, then we string red and white buttons on a thin elastic band, tie the ends of the elastic band into a knot, and put the resulting composition on the neck of the jar.
Method number 2. On a tin, glue buttons of different sizes (the color can also be any), then paint the product from a spray can in gold or paint in a brick tone, and shade with gold.
6. Do-it-yourself pencil stand decorated with twine.
We take a tin can, cover it with a layer of transparent glue, and wrap it, tightly joining the threads to each other. Finally, a bow can be glued on the front of the product. 
7. Pencil from the bark of a tree.
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.
On each tube we put vertical marks, we cut a fringe along them. We apply PVA glue to each petal of the fringe, and glue all the tubes to the cardboard layer. Then, with a marker, draw faces on the front of the stand.
9. Pencils with decorative primer.
We glue a plain sheet of paper on a tin can, which we then paste over with decorative pebbles.
10. Pencil in a marine style.
We take several tubes from paper towels, apply them to the base, cut out of cardboard. We glue each tube with white napkins, forming large folds (you need to glue the napkins on PVA glue). Then we glue the tubes to the cardboard stand, and paint them with water-based blue, yellow and orange paint (you can mix white water-based paint with different colors gouache, in this case it is necessary to mix white with orange, white with blue and white with yellow). At the end, we glue plastic fish, starfish, shells and artificial algae to the stand, all this can be bought at the pet store.
11. Pencil case.
We cut off the sharpened parts of the pencils, you can cut with a clerical knife or use a jigsaw. We lay the bottom row of pencils on the cardboard tightly to each other, glue each pencil. Then we begin to lay out the walls, place two pencils on the sides and glue to the base, in opposite parts we also glue the pencils, so we continue until the height of the pencil holder satisfies our appearance.
12. Pencil case decorated with burlap.
Glue a piece of burlap on a tin can, glue flowers formed from light linen fabric around the perimeter of the neck.
13. We paste over the pencil stand with wallpaper or kraft paper.
We cut off from the wallpaper or kraft paper a part corresponding to the size of the tin, the resulting part is simply glued to the jar.
14. Pencil in a shirt.
From white felt we cut out a rectangle corresponding to the length of the diameter of the tin, in the center we make an incision of about 2 cm, glue the collar to the can, cut in front, join at the back, bend the collar. We cut off a rectangle from an unnecessary shirt and glue it on a jar over the collar. Glue the buttons on the front and tie a tiny tie from a matching ribbon. 
15. How to make a pencil holder from floppy disks.
In four diskettes, it is necessary to melt holes with a hot awl, in each diskette there are 4 holes (two on the sides and two on the bottom), in the lower, fifth diskette in a row we make 8 holes, the awl must be heated over a candle (be careful). Then we form a cube from floppy disks without the upper part, we connect all the parts to each other flexible wire, connecting its ends in the inner part of the product.
16. Do-it-yourself pencil holder from a shampoo bottle.
We cut the shampoo bottle in half, but not in the middle, but above, the cut line can be smooth rounded or in the form of cones (this will be the hair of the future monster). From the upper unnecessary part, cut out the handles, and glue them at the bottom. From black paper we glue the mouth of the future monster, from white eyes and teeth. You can stick Velcro on the back and fix the monster pencil holder on the wall.
17. Pencil in vintage style with lace.
Glue on a circle of cardboard satin fabric, along the edge of the podium we glue lace. In the center of the circle we glue tubes of different lengths from under paper towels. 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. In the center we seat the figurine of a bird, and on the other side we put a small photo frame made in a suitable style.
18. Pencil from the catalog.
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. We go over the top of the pages with a layer of glue so that the pages do not fall apart. In the end, the product can be painted with spray paint, and the unpleasant parts can be decorated with beads or lace. 
19. Pencil holder decor with ice cream sticks.
We glue the ice cream sticks on two tapes, then glue the resulting picket fence to a tin can. Complementing the product wide ribbon tied with the outer part.
20. Decor of a pencil holder with a cloth.
We cut out rectangles from dense fabric corresponding to the size of the selected can. Then we decorate each piece with machine stitching with threads of contrasting color. We sew the case along the inside, turn it inside out and put it on the jar. 
21. Pencil from a tree trunk.
We saw off a small part from a dry tree with a saw, then with a drill in the upper part of the stump we create many holes, into which we install pencils.
