When the glue is dry, add a coat of clear varnish to give your pot a shine and protect it. Let the varnish dry.

Stand the tin on the piece of thick cardboard and draw around it with a pencil. Cut out the circle just inside the line so it will fit into the base of the tin. Draw a circle on the felt in the same way, but this time cut it out just outside the line.

Stick the piece of felt to the cardboard circle and then glue the cardboard to the bottom of the pencil pot.
