It is pretty simple to make the Penstand. You need just a minimum of 2 Soccer ball diecuts and a strip of thick cardstock to make the wall. For aethestic and functional strength you can add 2 extra black circles to form the basic framework as shown in the picture below.

The curved wall is made using a strip of card stock with wedges cut on the sides to enable you to easily stick the strip in a curved fashion to the circular sides of your Ball Penstand. Vary the length of the strip according to how big you want the opening of the penstand to be.

You can add a base to the Ball Penstand to help make it more sturdy.
The base is made using the same dies using cardstock and 2 layers of black craft foam.
