This innovative idea is not only space saving because the magnet means your pencil holder does not have to take up space on your desk, but the creative way of labeling it. The secret is a high powered magnet glued to the wall that the aluminum can sticks to. Keep in mind, this does not have to be just for pens and pencils, depending on where you need to save space, you can use this to store your bathroom supplies, Q-tips, hair ties, jewelry, even your tooth brush and tooth paste so that counter space is saved in a very inexpensive way.
