Make a Pen Holder.

Here is a quick and easy way to make a Pen Holder. Helps prevent misplacing all those pens you have. You can even use the can for any other use as well.

Step 1: What you need

First let me start off by saying this is my first Instructable. I had already made the my Pen Holder then decided hey why not make my first simple Instructable and just do it again so I could take pictures.

I know this is very simple and to some it's worthless but I found it useful.

What you need
-Soda can
-Can opener (empty but whatever makes you have a better time making this)

Great idea with the can opener! I was trying to find a good way to get the edges nice and smooth! I plan on painting mine... got the idea from this guy's site. So cute!

We used the same idea when we ran out of cups at a party. We gathered up a bunch of cans, took the tops off and ran them through the dishwasher, problem solved.

good idea for the environment! just put coins in as weights!

My parents wont let me use this, they say the edge will be too sharp

dont worry about this loser its not a rip off because you are using it for a diff purpose. I guess this cat thinks he invented recycling.

Oh snap haha honestly I never even saw your intructable. I searched for pen holder but didn't think of just searching soda can. Honestly I didn't copy yours I even made the "pen holder" a while ago and just decided to do an instructable on it. Sorry if it seems as if I copied yours but I've never seen your instructable ever before. I guess because I my intentions were to make a Pen Holder not a cup.

This instructable is great. I have made a bunch of these pen holders. Good job.

o and u can try weighing it down with hot glue at the bottom

[rockendrumer]

hehe u said thrash can i think it is supposed to be trash can

[TheOneGreatX]

For weighing it down, you could stick some magnets on the bottom, or glue some pennies or washers to the bottom.

[Havok S14]

I thought about magnets as well but I have mine near too many electrical components and its right next to my monitor =\. I'll try it out with the washers though, thanks.

A lump of Das Pronto (or other dense modelling clay) in the bottom will help keep it upright.

This is so cool! So many uses! I didn't know that you could use a can opener for this. But now that I did it, it makes sense. I used an 8 OZ Mini can and the edges came out clean and smooth. Thanks.

Simple idea, but it's cool looking. I think I'll try this. Nice job!
