What to do with the kids on the weekend? Make a few useful things for your home, such as stationery cups like this. By the way, you don't need to buy anything special for this craft!
Empty bottles of shampoos, balms, shower gels and other things are great material for creativity with children. One of the simple and useful crafts of this kind is hanging cups for pencils and pens.
So, in order to make a wall-mounted pencil cup in the form of a funny monster, you will need a bottle of shampoo / hair balm / shower gel or another plastic bottle of a suitable size and shape, a sharp knife or scissors, colored paper, glue (any, on the packaging of which it is indicated that it is suitable for gluing plastic), double-sided tape.
Work process:
1. Cut the top of the plastic bottle so that the cut is a semicircle.
2. Cut out thin handles of arbitrary shape from the remains of the bottle and glue them on the "back" (on the back) of the future monster glass.
3. Cut out two circles of different sizes and small triangles (blanks for eyes and teeth) from white paper. From black - two small circles and a large oval (blanks for the pupils and mouth). Glue the paper parts on the glass, as shown in the photo below - first the eyes and mouth, and on them are the pupils and teeth, respectively.
4. To secure the cup to the wall, glue a large piece of double-sided tape on the back.
Helpful advice: it will be more reliable to fix the cup to the wall with a pair of self-tapping screws.
Make several cups, different shapes and sizes. Create an entire wall organizer not only for pencils and pens, but also markers, rulers, crayons, and more.
