Maximize Your Space with this Pencil Holder Creation

I saw this idea on Pinterest last year and am just now getting around to using it.  The original post showed a wine rack that held the wine at an angle with plastic cups holding different writing utensils.  I loved this idea because it gives more desktop space to work.  I have always felt that I had a dozen pencil cups sitting on my small group table, which didn’t permit much room to spread out for one of the people sitting there.  Since the wine rack stores pencils in a vertical direction, it allows for me to have more desktop space–just like tall buildings in big cities!  I’m taking a hint from China and building upward!

I found the wine rack at a junk store for $4.50 and the plastic cups at the Dollar Tree–2 for a $1.  I’m still going to be looking for a wine rack that will hold the cups at an angle, but for $4.50, I couldn’t pass this up!

In case you’re looking for a picture of my door that I posted about earlier…it is coming.  I still have to put some finishing touches on it before I take a picture.
