Right after school let out, we took a little vacation to Williamsburg, VA. It was about a 4 hour car ride and my older daughter loves to pass the time reading or drawing. With hours to doodle in the car, she knew she'd have to sharpen her pencil several times. We have lots of those cheap pencil sharpeners but no sharpeners that contain the shavings. So, being the creative genius that she is, she came up with a way to keep all her pencil sharpening shavings from filling up the car. She thought of this idea and put it together all by herself. She didn't even search Pinterest, but if you want to see a video of the process, you can check out this Pin.
Supplies used:
Pencil sharpener
Empty tic tac container
Hot glue gun
All she did was hot glue the pencil sharpener into the tic tac container.
That's it. It only takes a few seconds and now you have a way to contain your pencil shavings.
You can use this while traveling, for school, or drawing at home in your bed late at night when you should be sleeping (yeah, my daughter does that).
