Style on the Desk...Creatively Yours!

Do you need something vibrant and jazzy for your desk space? Something totally YOU and new for 2013?

Here are some DIY ideas for pen and pencil holders. These "not so ordinary" small desk accessories, will beautify your space in a creative and cost-friendly way!



1) Small, colorful gift bags-
These holders dress up a drab office desk while being functional pen and pencil holders. Get ones made of fused plastic, fabric, laminated paper, nylon mesh, etc. and there's no need to sturdy them with a coat of shellac or liquid adhesive.

2) Clam shell halves-
Collect these holders on your next beach stroll. Nature meets your writing implements in a clean and fresh way! Don't paint and/or otherwise decorate the shell. Let the natural color and ridges enliven your work space.

3) Women's Wooden and Metal Bangles (Wide Style)-
A friend gifted me with a fashionable bangle that was just a wee bit tight to slide up on my wrist. I sat it on my table and found that it made a cute pen and pencil holder! Pick up a few bangles at your local thrift shop and let your pens dance in jewelry!

4) Small boxes, ie baking soda boxes, cornbread mix boxes, etc.-
Wrap these boxes in decorative duct tape, beads, stickers and decorate your desk with beautiful and original holders perfect for your writing tools!



Free your creative self, while adding a sweet and colorful odor to your work space, joyfully and inexpensively!
