This XNUMXth-century snail pencil holder It is a great accessory for the little ones in the house to decorate all their writing tools.
Not only for children, there are multitude of models that can adapt to the tastes of each person and become a gift great and handmade and most importantly, with a lot of love.
This time I have chosen to make an animal model, the snail, since it will allow me to roll up the eva rubber and be able to create its body with spirals and other figures. With this work you can reuse or take advantage of some scrap or piece of eva rubber from other projects and thus it becomes a more economical job.
Materials to make the snail
- Colored eva rubber
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Glue or hot glue gun
- Round head pins
- Sheet boring machine
- A pencil
Making the pencil holder
Cut out 4 tiras made of eva rubber with the following measures:
- Brown: 40 x 3 cm
- Light green: 23 x 2 cm
- Dark green 10 x 2 cm
Roll up the small strip around the pencil and glue the end.
Forma these pieces with the other strips of eva rubber.
Introduce the circular piece on the green strip and stick it as in the photo.
Glue the brown piece above the previous one to form the "little house" of the snail that it carries.
Insert two pins with a round head to form the snail's eyes.
Glue on the piece that will be inserted in the pencil a combination of leaves and a flower made of eva rubber. To learn how to make the flower, CLICK HERE.
Lastly, paste all this structure in the snail body from the bottom.
And we are done. This is the result of our pencil holder snail. Remember that you can make the model that you like the most and you can give it to your friends from school or make a model for an older person a little more serious and elegant. Don't forget what I always tell you: Imagination to power!
