2. Honeycomb Pen & Marker Caddy

Hexagonal and circular tubes grouped together form a sturdy honeycomb structure that neatly sorts colored pens, highlighters, markers, and drawing tools by shade.

  • Materials: 6–8 cardboard paper towel or toilet paper rolls, hot glue, acrylic paint, and flat cardboard for the base.
  • How to Build: Trim tubes into varying heights (between 3 and 6 inches). Glue the tubes together in a clustered honeycomb formation, then secure the entire cluster onto a cut-to-fit flat cardboard base.
  • Styling Tip: Paint each cylinder in a subtle pastel gradient or wrap each tube in botanical-print wrapping paper before assembling.
