Father's Day gift

I wanted to do something simple that the boys could make for their dads this year, but I also wanted it to be something that their dad would use. So I decided to do a pen holder for them to put on their desks. 

I had originally planned another idea but decided it would be a little more work. I will share it with you in case you want to make it.

 I made these boxes using the printable set from Parties and Patterns

 Then I filled them with different candy.

 Bought root beer in a glass bottle, cause the glass bottle looks so much cooler than just a can of soda.

Here it is all done. The printable even has instructions on how to make the box, I made mine a bit bigger because I used different wood then it calls for.

Since I didn't end up using this, I took the box and am going to paint it black adding felt to the bottom(so it doesn't scratch up my table) and will put it on the bottom shelf of my end table to hold all the charging cords for cameras and i pods.
