The first day of school is something very special. Not only for the small school beginners, but also for the whole family. If you are looking for a loving, homemade gift idea for enrollment, then I have the perfect DIY for you today: XXL pens made of empty chips cans!

They are not only a sweet souvenir, but also a great alternative to the classic school bag. With space for small surprises, pens, sweets or personal greetings. And best of all: you only need a few materials that you probably already have at home.

Why a DIY gift for schooling?

The schooling is a milestone. Show homemade gifts: I took the time to make you happy. And that remains in the memory, in children and parents. The XXL pins not only look great, they also really enjoy tinkering. A project for large siblings, sponsors or grandparents!

Instructions

1

Wash the cans thoroughly and remove labels. Let them dry well.

2

Miss the height and the scope of the can and cut your motif paper appropriately. Glue it all around on the can.

3

Fill your can with the enrollment gifts and put the lid of the can back on it.

4

From construction paper (e.g. to match the color of your motif paper) you cut two quarter circles. A bigger one and a smaller one. Role both into a pointed hat and stick them together. Then you have to glue them on the can on the top. This is the pencil tip!

5

Decorate your XXL pencils with letter pearls (“school child”, name, etc.), stick, washi tape or glitter.

6

Your XXL pens are ready for the beginning of school!

Personalization of pens for extra joy

A pen with the name of the school child or a small message ensures bright eyes. You can also make a mini garland, add small school accessories or add vouchers (e.g. for visiting ice cream parlors after the first day of school).
