The design of this organiser is simple yet unique. The top and bottom are hexagons with 7 small 10mm hexagon holes to hold the pencils. The central section is a 90x20mm box with small tabs to slot into the top and bottom sections.

Start by slotting together the 4 rectangular pieces to make a box shape.

Next, glue together the two hexagons for the bottom, these are the ones with the 4 small rectangular cutouts in the middle. You should use a small clamp or place something heavy on these parts until the glue sets.

Finally, slot the top and bottom sections into the tabs at the ends of the rectangular box section. I would also recommend glueing these parts for extra strength.
