This is a shining pen stand which will look like a flower. This is very easy to make and if we don't have tissue holder, use small pvc pipes or any tubes with 4-5 cms diameter. And, instead of glitter foam sheets, we can also use normal color paper glued with glitters.

Take a snack box, cut one side and paint the inner side of the sheet with suitable color. Stick the sheet at the base side of the tissue holder stand. Cut the remaining sheet.
Stick the glitter foam sheet on over the whole sides of tissue holder stand.
