You can make a glass for pens and pencils yourself using cans from coffee drinks and conservation. This material is tough, durable, and the decor falls on it easily and holds well.
- Knitted case - you can make a case from threads with the simplest knitting pattern that will perfectly decorate a brutal tin can. For ease of use, so that the bundle does not fidget, it can be glued to the bank.
- Rope (twine) is another interesting way to decorate a glass for writing instruments. To do this, we wind the rope or twine on a jar pre-lubricated with transparent glue (you can use a glue gun). In this case, the threads should be tightly joined so that they adjoin each other without gaps. To give a complete look, you can decorate the product with a bow.
- Fabric - a rectangle should be cut out of dense fabric, clasping the jar in diameter. Thensew the inside and put on a jar. If desired, the decor can be diversified by gluing beads, pebbles, bows. These vintage-style pencil cases look very impressive, covered with fabric in combination with lace and satin ribbon.
- Burlap - a rough material combined with a strip of linen or chintz fabric and lace will make a tin can a cute table and room decoration. In this case, it is better to glue the burlap to the bank. And then decorate.
- Wallpaper, self-adhesive paper, scrapbook paper - to give the look of a tin, you can use any pieces of wallpaper, self-adhesive film and scrapbooking paper. If the surface of the jar is corrugated, the pattern may crumple a little, so it is better to choose smooth tins to make a glass for pencils and pens with your own hands.

Also interesting ideas are:
- Glugs - do not rush to throw out the tunnels from under the paper towels and toilet paper. They are perfect for storing pencils and pens on your desk. Decoration options can be different: they can be painted, painted or pasted over with corrugated paper.
