How To Make an Origami Pen Holder

Hope everyone is enjoying the last week of Summer Holidays! Try out this cool craft before school is back!

Hexagonal Origami Pen Holder

If you do not have squared paper, try this easy trick! Fold the paper from the point down towards the bottom to form a square and simply cut off the edge.

Voila! A square!

1. Fold the paper in half

2. reopen the paper to see the crease down the middle

3. take the right and left sides of the paper and fold each side to the middle crease

Both sides should be folded in like so

4. Reopen the paper again. You should be able to see 8 smaller rectangles

5. Take the top and bottom sides and fold toward the middle crease

Fold the top to the middle

And fold the bottom to the middle

6. Now reopen the paper again to find 16 small squares present

7. Take each corner tab of the entire paper and fold up towards the first point

All corners should be folded in like so, not exceeding the squares point

8. Once all corners are folded take the top and bottom sides and fold over towards the middle crease

9. When they are folded over, flip over the entire paper

You should only be able to see 8 squares on the back side

10. From the top, you will need to fold down to the middle crease, and from the bottom you will need to fold up to the middle crease

The top and bottom should meet in the middle showing 4 triangular pockets

11. Now, start by taking one corner and push it inside its opposite, and then take a second corner and push it inside its opposite

12. Once the corners are tucked inside, push on the edge to make sure its fitted

This is the final module! To Finish making the pen holder we will need 6 total!

13. After completing 6 modules , glue the pieces all together. I used a hot glue gun to really secure the pieces. Wet glue would be the next best alternative.
