DIY Pencil Cup

        It's almost time for the little children of the world to go back to school! One of my pet peeves about doing my schoolwork or homework is never being able to find a pencil, and my favorite thing about back to school is getting new supplies! And with that...

Lets get started!

Supplies:

1. Box to cut

2. Scissors

3. Duct Tape

4. Marker

5. Ruler

Step 1: Measure your box and decide if you want dividers and how large you want them to be 

Step 2: Draw out what you want it to look like, on all sides 

(My cup has three compartments, the first is 4.5" x 2", the second is 3" x 2", the third and smallest is 1.5" x 1.5")

Step 3: Cut away the parts you don't need, but save the pieces cut from the sides

Step 4: Cut the dividers to the right heights to separate the sections (4.5" and 3" for me)

Step 5: Tear a piece of duct tape about 4" long and tear it in half, use this to attach the dividers to the appropriate places. Also tear four pieces of tape slightly shorter to brace the bottom of the cup

Step 6: Now the fun part! Tear a piece of duct tape that is long enough to go around the bottom tier of the box once. Line it up with the edge of the cup's opening and apply the tape, fold the extra on the bottom like a present

Step 7: Repeat Step 6, except move up to the second tier. Line up the tape where the tape ends on the first tier, make slits in the corners, and fold over any extra into the cup

Step 8: Repeat Step 7 with the last tier

Step 9: Cover the exposed bottom of the box

Step 10: Add any other elements you want, aaaaaaaaand.......

You're finished!

Enjoy your duct taped pencil/makeup/whatever you want cup!
