Pasta Pen & Makeup Holders - 3 Shapes

Mama Mia! This is a complete collection of three whimsical desk organizers inspired by classic Italian pasta shapes: Farfalle (bow-tie), Penne, and Linguine. They are a fun, cheerful way to add some character to your workspace, kitchen counter, or vanity, keeping your essentials within easy reach. Think of them as tiny culinary buddies that keep your tools organized.

I modeled these in Blender. While I think they look fantastic in a classic matte yellow PLA, I can imagine they would also look surprisingly cool in a subtle cream color or even a bold terracotta. A matte finish really suits this model, giving them a clean, soft look that highlights the sculpted pasta forms.

The collection includes three distinct designs:

• The Penne Holder: Tall and cylindrical with angled ends and the signature rigate (ridged) texture.
• The Linguine Holder: A tall, slender vessel with a wavy, ribbon-like form that feels elegant and organic.
• The Farfalle Holder: The star of the show, a perfect bow-tie shape with serrated edges that stands on its own.

Each one can be used to hold pens, pencils, stylus tools, or even makeup brushes and other small items you want to keep tidy. If you print this little pasta party, I’d love to see which shape is your favorite! Feel free to share photos of your prints and how you are using them in the comments. Feedback is always welcome!   

Happy printing :))
