The occasional ray of sunlight has reminded us that it is indeed summer and that it’s time to add a splash of colour to brighten of our wardrobe. Which is why we’re bringing you this fantastic tutorial from our long-time fav Brit + Co.
You’ll need:
- coloured pencils
- sand paper
- drill with tiny drill bit
- hand saw
- chain
- ring pads
- glue
- jewelry wire
Instructions:
- The Pencil Ring
- Simply cut off 2-inch length of pencil (with a sharpened end). Sand down the sawed off end so it’s smooth. Use a ring pad and curve it with needle nose pliers, creating the perfect setting for your pencil. Use a multipurpose adhesive to glue, and you’re all set!
- The Flower Pencil Ring
- Our second ring is great for those teeny tiny coloured pencils you’ve got kicking around the craft drawer. Cut off a few ends (7 work best), sand so that they’re smooth.
- Glue together on wax paper using wood glue and let set overnight. Once the glue has set, sand off any excess glue so that you have a smooth pencil flower. Glue onto a ring pad and you’re done!
- The Hanging Pencil Necklace
- Select three colours you like, and cut them down using a saw. Sharpen so that the pencils are functional, and drill at the top of each pencil. String a chain right through and you’ve got writing utensils whenever you need ‘em.
