Coconut pen holder

Nowadays, coconut, or as it is commonly called coconut, is no longer an exotic and rare delicacy; it is easy to buy everywhere. Its hard outer layer is like a shell, and the inner mass of white light is the core. Coconut husks are often used for a variety of crafts, from buttons to tableware. But we found another use for it. We decided to make a cute glass - a stand for pens, pencils, etc.
Before you begin, you need to pour out the liquid contained in the fruit. There are 3 indentations on top of the coconut; you need to make holes in them and pour out the coconut milk, without opening the entire nut.
For the manufacture of crafts you will need: a hand drill, a hacksaw for metal, a long bolt and a nut of suitable diameter and two washers, and the coconut itself.




Saw off the third part, the top of the coconut, and use a regular kitchen knife to remove the coconut flesh.




In the middle of the sawn-off top, use a drill to drill a hole with a diameter similar to the diameter of the bolt.




We take the bolt, put on one of the washers and insert it into the hole inside the larger part of the coconut.




We put the upper part of the coconut on the bolt, put a washer on the side of the stand and tighten the nut tightly. At the end of these simple manipulations, you should get such a stable, functional, and most importantly exotic pen stand.





The stand can be additionally decorated with inscriptions, artificial flowers, butterflies, or can be left in its original form.





This craft can also be used as a pot for flower seedlings, a vase for sweets, or as an ashtray. We would not recommend sanding the surface of the finished craft; the colorful exoticism disappears.
