cool idea. How does the lid stay closed?

Very cool!! But to think how much longer a pencil you could have fit if they hadn’t come pre-sharpened!

That is cool. What kind of glue did you use? I guess you had to sand the finish off of the sides you glue.

Nope, no sanding, no finishing. I used CA (crazy glue) from the dollar store, it held like mad. Still pulling my fingers apart.
