Most of us made some pretty horrible art projects as children, that we typically gave to our parents as gifts. Many of our parents still proudly display our first scribbles and misshapen ashtrays.

The childhood crafts revisited series is about getting a second chance at the projects and examining the way we learned our artistic styles.

Remember the pencil holder you made from a tin can? It was either covered in Elmer's glue and string, wrapped in construction paper, or for the very creative...Shoe polish and masking tape to get that faux leather look.

Now that we're "grown ups", we can do better. Your task will be to create (1) one pencil holder from a tin can according to your partner's profile interests and send it to your (1) partner. Requirements:

1. Your finished pencil holder shouldn't look like the one you made when you were a kid (take your time, and make something you'd be happy to recieve).

2. Use a clean empty can as the base. If the can isn't clean, you haven't met the swap requirements.

3. These should be profile specific.

4. Newbies welcome with a filled out profile. If you aren't new please have a 4.8 rating or higher, and no "1" ratings or unexplained "3" ratings in the last 3 months.

Other thoughts (completely optional):

It could be fun to include any or all of the following with your pen holder:

A note about tin can pen/pencil holder memories.

Photos of your first tin can pen/pencil holder.

A note about how you made your tin can pen/pencil holder.

A photo of a tin can pen/pencil holder given to you by a young person in your life.
