Making Pencil Box from Can

It's time to get ready for school and make small gifts for kids and teachers.
I offer to make simple but nice pencil in marine style. Let it remind you of summer, vacation and travelling.
I decided to use decoupage, but to make it 3D without much effort. That is what I have made.

Required materials and tools:

  • can;
  • burlap (loose and dense weaving);
  • thick cardboard;
  • napkin or decoupage card with a pattern in a marine style;
  • white acrylic paint;
  • PVA glue;
  • decorative pendant;
  • white cord;
  • super glue or glue gun;
  • sponge;
  • pencil;
  • scissors;
  • brush.


I hope my idea will be useful to someone.
