Instructions No. 2496 Instructions No. 2496 Difficulty: Beginner Working time: 6 Hours
Organising a nice party with friends and family for the first day of school is a lot of fun. Our ideas bring out the motto of starting school beautifully. Our paper pencil boxes are great to decorate on the table or to give as a gift to a first day child or guests.
Stiftebox herstellen - so geht's:
Print out the template (A), cut it out and transfer it to your desired paper with a pencil. Cut out the contours. Emboss the dotted lines with the VBS contour cutter, this makes it easier to fold the paper afterwards. Alternatively, you can also use a folding leg.
Cut a 2.5 cm wide strip from the beige paper for a nice "bee-line" look and stick it onto the pen tips. When dry, trim the tips again.
Cut a 15 cm wide strip of the straw silk and glue it to the inside of the pen tips.
Now you can fill the pencil box and tie it with a satin ribbon.
Cut out small tags from the coloured paper (template B) and punch a hole in them with the hole punch. Cut a white paper, write on it and stick it on the tag with 3-D adhesive pads. Pull a satin ribbon through the hole and attach to the pen.
Alternative idea: Omit the step of gluing the straw silk into the pen, but instead place a vase in the pen. This way you get a great decoration on your table.

Tischkarten-Staffeleien für Gäste
Glue the spatulas together to form an "A". Glue the front spatula in such a way that you can later place a canvas on it. When dry, glue the last stick to the back to form the back foot of the easel as a support.
Now you can paint the place cards. To do this, paint the edges of the stretcher bars in your chosen colours. To paint a clean line, you can mask off the edge with masking tape. You can use markers or craft paint to paint on the names or, for example, hearts.
If you wish, you can stick on another spatula above the stretcher as a finishing touch. This can be shortened as desired.
