August is here and school is drawing nearer. This is a great Back-To-School Craft … make a cute pendant with a pencil that can still be used. Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade will show you, step by step, how to make it.
How to Make Pencil Pendants or Necklaces for Back to School
CRAFTS MATERIALS NEEDED:
– pencil
– glue
– scissors
– white thick thread
– khaki thick thread
Step 1.
Apply a good layer of glue on the pencil (not on the sharpened part)
Step 2.
Begin to cover the bottom of the pencil, wrapping around it the white thread.
Let the center uncovered and make another white part near the other end.

Step 3.
If the glue on the uncovered part is already dry, add another layer. Glue the end of the khaki thread beside the white thread, and begin to cover the other parts.
The middle one…
… and the upper one (you will go with a khaki thread over the white for that). When you reach the top, make a loop of khaki thread and put glue on it to set it on top of the pendant…
… like this.
Now you can wear it on a chain or cord and, if you forget your pencils… you can use it 😉
