Super Mario Brothers drain pipe pen-holder

[Wes R]

I wanted something small to set my pens and x-acto knives so i got some cheap plumbing parts and one of my many large empty pill bottles. I ended up cutting the bottle in half with the upper part acting to hold the pipe together and the bottom just to be the bottom. I tried filling the center gap but as i'm not having much luck i may build a box around it like in the game. This one is so simple i can't screw it up.

I should have opened up the center more of the top to allow more items to go in but it still looks good.

Nice idea. My 60 gal fish tank bckground is just about the whole first swim level from Mario 1, hand painted.
