A few interesting ideas on the topic: "What can I do with pens?"
A good housewife never throws anything away. And this is correct, because any thing, after it ceased to be used for its intended purpose, you can try to remake into something else.
Thread holder
Stand
What else can you do with pens? As an option - a stand for the stationery themselves. To do this, you need a used DVD-ROM, which will serve as the basis, and a lot of old pens that will be glued to the rim of the disc. Well, if they are different colors and length, so the thing will turn out bright and extraordinary.
Weapons
And now we make something for the boys. Let's look at how to make a gun out of a pen. To do this, you need a writing object with a spring. The design is completely disassembled and assembled in reverse order: first a spring, then a handle. Everything, the gun is ready. And bullets for such weapons will serve as small dense lumps of paper. Also from the handles you can make nunchakas - oriental weapons. And, by the way, it will be safe for health. So, we need two simple pens, as many matches and a cord. The pens are completely freed from the contents, the cord is stretched in them and fixed on the tips with matches (so that it can not jump out again). All weapons are ready to use! And another very simple way to create weapons from the cavity of the handle (by the way, this is generally a classic!): You just need to remove all the contents, leave a bare tube through which it is very convenient to spit small pieces of paper. Than not a weapon in the fight against boys?
Hook
What else can you do with pens? An excellent option - holder for a crochet hook. To do this, you just need to choose a convenient handle, insert it into it - instead of paste - the desired product and fix it with glue or molten polyethylene. This crochet is easy and convenient to use!
In the trek
The holder for camping forks and spoons is anotherone variation on the theme: "What can be done from the pens?" Everyone knows that such cutlery often does not have a long handle, but only a removable holder. But what if he was lost? It's simple: take advantage of your office supplies! That's just in such a situation, most likely, you will have to slightly cut the product so that the devices are normally placed in it.
Crossbow
Our next tip will tell you how to makehandles the arrow. To do this, however, additional details will be needed: four new unread pencils, seven rubber bands for paper (money) and an old pen. First you need to make a foundation. To do this, from two pairs of pencils, tightly pressed together, you need to make a T-shaped structure (fixed all with the help of office rubbers). The handle is attached to the lower part of the letter T with several strips of tape (without the ampoule with paste, only the cavity itself). The elastic is twisted at the ends of pencils (on the T cap), in the center, you can attach a wide insert to make it more convenient to insert "ammo". The very arrow (most likely - the usual paste) is inserted into the handle and with the help of a bowstring is started. This is a simple invention.
