[...] If you have a little more free time you could also try something a little more complex. For example, if you have some paper cores or paper tubes you can turn them into beautiful pencil holders. To make one piece you need 1 paper core, 2 pieces of thick cardboard, 3 yarns, 3 felts, masking tape and some glue. First measure the circumference of the tube and cut a circle out using thick cardboard. Attach it to the base of the paper tube using tape and also add a piece of felt. Then start wrapping the yarn. Glue it as you advance. You can also make some embellishments at the end if you like.{found on craftpassion}. [...]

I spent a rainy afternoon making this with my 8 year old daughter Poppy and we were thrilled with the results! We used a pringles tin so didn’t need to add a base. We already had all the bits in the house, so free to make – looks amazing – and is so much better than any plastic tacky thing we could have bought at the shops! Thank you!

These are pretty! And so useful for all those little bits and bobs that somehow accumulate around the house!

I have found that if wrapping the yarn becomes tedious (with younger kids it will…) one can wrap part of the tube with a scrap of fabric instead. In my experience heavier fabrics like velvet and felt are best, because the glue doesn’t leak through them.

Oh, and I have also found that food tins and the tubes that certain brands of crisps come in are great for this – they already have a bottom!
