3. Stash yarns (optional)

Trace the circumference of the tube on the thick cardboard and cut the circle out. Attach the circle to the base of the paper tube with masking tape. Cut a piece of the felt glue and glue it to the base with the craft glue. Leave it for a few minutes to dry or until the felt rack on the well to the base before you start to roll the yarn around the tube. Start gluing the yarn from the top. If you find the yarn a little difficult to attach to the tube, wait until the glue is tacky before wrapping the yarn around. The beginning is always the toughest part to start with this project. After wrapping a few rounds, turn the tube upside down and continue wrapping. You may change the color of the yarn or just to keep it one color. Decorate the pencil holder with embellishment when the yarn is securely affixed to the tube. Wait until everything is dry, place the pencil holder to keep your stationery in it.
