For better or worse, we live in a throw-away society. Here's hoping that we can re-purpose at least a handful of paper towel tubes that would otherwise be discarded.
Simply cut the paper towel tube into 3 close-to-equal pieces, staple both ends together and then slip into this base for a nice solid DIY pen holder... and maybe a great project for the kids.
It'll probably work with toilet paper roll tubes as well so long as they are 42.4mm (plus or minus a millimeter) in diameter.

If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share. :)
Or, better yet, please feel free to dump a bitcoin or two here:

... include a note to the effect of "Hi Julius3E8, thanks for the [insert name of thing]... my life has improved five-fold on account of it and please accept this paltry amount in gratitude".
You're welcome! (in advance) :D
