Follow 16 Simple Steps to Make Origami Pencil Stand

There are so many ways to make an origami pencil holder. However, I have made my pencil holder using A4 size origami paper. Therefore, I decided to give a creative look at my work table with a homemade Pencil holder.

Step 1: Make Use of Any Colour of Origami Paper to Create a Pencil Holder

First of all, take one a4 size origami paper any colour of your choice. However, if you do not have origami paper you can also use regular colour paper but make sure the paper is not thick.

Step 2: Trim extra Paper from the Base to form a Square

First of all, you have to fold the paper from one corner to another and make a proper crease. Further, you can see the leftover at the bottom that you have to trim using a scissor.

Step 3: Fold the Square into Equal Half

Now you have to fold this square paper into equal half. First of all, fold the paper until the center crease line and similarly fold it from the other side. And then flatten it well and make a proper crease on it.

Step 4: Fold the Four Corner

Now you can see here so many boxes on the paper however you have to just fold the corner and make a proper crease on it.

Step 5: Fold the Paper into Equal Half Again

Now after the corner fold you have to fold the paper into equal half once again as above.

Step 6: Fold the Paper into Equal Half

Now fold the paper into equal half and make a proper crease on it as you can see in the image below.

Step 7: Fold the Paper into Two Equal Half

Now fold the paper from the sides until the center line and then make a proper crease on it.

Step 8: Cutting the Thin Strip of Paper for Insertion

I am taking a green coloured origami paper to insert into the fold. Firstly, measure the length and width and according to that cut.

Step 9: Insert the Paper Strip

Insert the paper strip cutout slowly in between one end of the paper folding further join both ends as shown in the image below.

Step 10: Push the Sides to Create a Box

Now here you have to just push both the sides and set the paper which you have inserted earlier.

Step 11: Decorate Your Pencil Stand

Now take a glitter paper or you can also take any colour or shiny paper. Further, outline any shape which you like and then using a scissor cut it out.

 Star is one of my favorites, so I am making it here. I have used the same star decoration to create paper stockings.

Step 12: Make Use of Glue and Join all the Boxes

First of all, apply little glue at the sides of the box and then slowly join the boxes one by one. Leave it to dry for 5 minutes under the fan or room temperature.

Step 13: Create the Base for the Pencil Holder

Take any colour of card stock paper and outline the base of the pencil holder keeping the pencil stand on it. Once the outline is ready then cut the outline slowly using small scissors.

Make sure you always use small scissors for a detailed cut.

Step 14:Attaching the Base to the Pencil Holder

Now apply glue at the bottom edge of the pencil holder. But don't apply glue over it, as it will sneak inside the holder and spoil the craft. Then place the card-stock cutout gently, and let it dry for at least 10 minutes under the fan.
