How to Make an Easy Back to School Yarn Wrapped Pencil
This yarn wrapped pencil is a great upcycle project too for all those Amazon boxes that have been coming bringing new supplies or curriculum.
You will need:
- Cardboard
- scissors
- Pink yarn
- Yellow yarn
- Gray yarn
- Tan yarn
- Markers
- Hot glue gun
First, cut out a pencil shape in any size you like ours is 12” x 4” using scissors or a straight edge boxcutter blade.
For younger children, you might go ahead and color in each section to give them a little bit of a guide on how far to go with each color.
This also helps if there are pieces of cardboard showing through.
Hot glue the end of your pink yarn to the cardboard and wrap the entire section.
When it is covered snip the end and glue that in place.
To finish off the very end I just wrapped and glued the pink yarn all the way across.
Move to the next color (gray) and secure the end down and wrap again as far as you wish to go.
Repeat with yellow, covering the pencil well up near the pointed end.
Color the pencil tip black with a marker.
You could also continue with a bit of black yarn but that takes a lot more glue to attach it so I find it just as effective to color it in.
Wrap the final part with a tan color to represent the exposed wood and secure the end with hot glue. I like to tuck a couple of strands of tan underneath the yellow.
You can use it as a display on your back-to-school table, a tiered tray, or anywhere else you want to add a bit of back-to-school whimsy.
