Fabric Covered Pen Caddy

What are you doing to help save our planet? I know you realize that recycling is one of the GREATEST things we can do for our planet.

One of the many things that can be found in every home across the globe is toilet paper, paper towels, and baby wipe containers. What do you normally do with these items after the tissue/wipes are gone? After today you don't have to throw them away any more.

Today, I'm going to teach you how to recycle materials to make a fabric covered pen caddy. This caddy would be the perfect gift to friends, family, and teachers because it is an easy to make environmentally friendly product. Lets face it, we've all searched for a pen to write with at one time or another!

Step 1 Collect Materials

For this project you will need:

*A pair of scissors to cut fabric and ribbon
*11 size 6"x4.5" tissue rolls
*An empty wipes container, minus the top ( your measurements will vary based on the brand wip box you use.
*A Pen
*Measuring Tape and or a yard stick
*Fabric Pieces or scraps
*A Glue gun and glue sticks
*Ribbon and embellishments
