Love Birds Pen stand

Hello friends,

We are back with a recycled project- this time a pen stand.

This incorporates our two favorites- quilling and recycling. We have recycled old plastic medicine bottle, cardboard base, tissue rolls and loads of empty pen refills.

Pen stand is essential for all crafters, in fact everyone. Check out this Cute Owl Pen Stand. We often fall short of pen stand to hold our pens, brushes and markers, so thought why not make them our self.

We wrapped corrugulated sheet around one of the tissue roll. For other tissue roll, we cut old pen refills into equal heights as that of the roll, and stuck them around it. For the medicine bottle, we first pasted tissue and after drying gave it a coat of texture paste to give it a tree-like texture.

We made the base by assembling crimpled loose coils. These green strips are also recycled in a way that these were one side for assignment, we then hand cut those sheets into strips.

We are really happy with the outcome!!
