This video shows you how to make a pencil holder out of paper – office supplies out of office supplies if you will. This was designed by Marc Vigo and it’s one of my favorite folds. You will need a rectangular sheet of paper – 8.5 x 11 inches or A4 should work.
- 1 rectangular sheet of paper (copy paper, printer paper, office paper, 8.5 x 11, A4)
- template (this may help some people; however some visitors have said it’s unnecessary)
– 8.5 x 11 pencil holder template
– A4 pencil holder template

UHHHHH I CANT GET IT!
It's a tricky model. What're you having trouble with?
I’m having trouble with the “hard to explain” part. I see it in the video but I have no idea what you’re doing. Diagram basically skips over that part.
After two days of figuring it out, I finally made it !!!
Good for you! This is a tough one to make. Glad you stuck with it and figured it out
josey, did you invent these by yourself, or did you get it from da internet?
this will not work ><.:"!@%#&*(%$
It's tricky, but it definitely works… it took me a few days of trying, getting frustrated, leaving it alone and then coming back to it. If you have any specific questions, let me know and maybe I can help. You can do it!
For me what you say and show is clear. I could make it quite quickly. I've done other origami before but this one is particularly complicated. The pdf sheet of paper helps a lot. I customized it with japanese masking tape. It's really nice on my office. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, glad you could make it… like you say, this one is complicated! I made one out of card stock and glued a couple origami lotus flowers on it and gave it to my administrative support staff. I have a non-decorated one on my desk at work.
Thanks much! This was super easy, and its gonna be super handy for school!!!
Just made this, turned out Ok for my first try. Am going to attempt tomorrow at school with kids in the origami club!!
It won't print out properly

T hanks a lot this is going to be fun to make!
