Looking for an easy craft for kids this Earth Day? Then try this upcycled pencil holder made from supplies you can find in your recycling bin!
How to Make an Upcycled Pencil Holder:
1. Look through your recycling bin or craft stash for a plastic or glass jar and a newspaper, magazine, or catalog.
2. Cut the catalog into small pieces.
3. Apply the paper pieces to the jar with watered down glue and a paint brush. Brush a layer on the jar, stick the paper pieces on, and then paint over the pieces with more of the glue mixture.
4. Let dry and fill with pencils, markers, toothbrushes, or whatever you would like!
