Use an old garlic/onion powder tin or any spice tin that you like. I love red in my kitchen, so I was very happy with the Krogers tins. Add magnet tape to the back. Remember you will be putting pens in it so add enough to handle the weight.
Then add pens/pencils and place on the side of the fridge. You will never be looking for a pen when you are on the phone again.
What a great way to upcycle.
