For only pennies, see how to make a gel pen case that holds up to 40 gel pens, that you can take with you anywhere you go! This do it yourself gel pen clutch is a fun project that uses two 9×12 inch clasp envelopes and some tape. So grab your X-Acto Knife and a tape gun and create your very own gel pen holder for less than a dollar!

May 21, 2017, 9:24 amThank you for such a great idea! I have made 2 so far – the first for my pens and the second for sharpies. My couch has a habit of swallowing my pens and pencils so I’m hoping the clutches solve the problem.

This is a great project!

June 29, 2017, 12:41 amWhen I first saw this DIY gel pen clutch video, I thought it wouldn’t work! Boy, was I wrong! I finally got the proper envelopes and, by following your instructions, got one made. Not only does it comfortably hold 40 gel pens, it actually feels sturdy enough to last awhile. Thanks for sharing this idea!
