The roundup we are featuring today is full of cool DIY pencil holders suitable for your workspace, though they can be a fit for kids, too, they aren’t too fun or whimsical, so I’d recommend them for adults’ spaces. Let’s take a look at it!

This is a super simple and smart cork pencil holder, which is made of cork trivets or memo boards! Why smart? Because it doesn’t require much effort or time, so you can make it very fast just attaching the trivets to each other and drilling them to put pens and pencils inside. You may also paint them if you want or leave them modern and simple.

Wood
This minimalist pencil holder is a very stylish thing, it’s a wooden piece drilled for storing pens and pencils and even a small air plant to make your workspace lively. Air plants don’t require any soil, so the piece won’t be dirty. We strongly recommend not to stain the piece dark to make it look modern and minimal for a stylish workspace.
