DIY Customized Pencils

-



Hey Everyone,

Hope you all are doing amazing today. Today, I am going to teach you how to customize your pencils. It is a very easy craft. You can make it with pretty much anything available at home. I will mention the list of things that could be used to customize your pencils. For starters, you can get pencils which do not have any coating over them. Plain wooden pencils can be used easily for this DIY craft.

The things you can use to cover up the pencil according to your choice are:
  1. ·         Markers
  2. ·         Tissue paper
  3. ·         Thread
  4. ·         Glitter


These are the four main ideas that I have in mind which could be used to make your pencils amazing!

Markers can be used directly on the pencil. You can do a graffiti and make your pencil colorful with so many designs. That is the easiest out of the four.

Using tissue paper to make a customized pencil:

  • 1.       Draw whatever pattern you have in mind on a tissue paper with a marker or a pen. The medium you use to draw on the tissue is up to you. Markers would be a better choice in this case.
  • 2.       Once you have colored your design on the tissue, cut strips of the tissue according to the size of the pencil.
  • 3.       Use decoupage glue or simple white glue which is also famous as german glue to paste these strips of tissue all over the pencil.  You won’t just put some glue on the pencil and then paste the tissue. You have to apply glue even after you have pasted the tissue on the glued pencil. This will give your pencil a nice texture.
  • 4.       Dry the pencil and it is ready to be used.


Using thread to make a customized pencil:
  • 1.       Glue one edge of the thread to the pencil with white glue, and wrap a string of thin thread on your pencil in different folds. You can make a zig-zag design with the thread, or just make swirls. Use the thread creatively.
  • 2.       Glue the other end of the thread as well.
  • 3.       Once both the edges are strongly intact, apply a layer of white glue all over the pencil to make the thread stick to the pencil. The benefit of white glue is that once it dries, it doesn’t show. And that is why it is used in most of the DIY crafts.




Using glitter to make a customized pencil:
  • 1.       Glue the whole pencil with an even amount of glue and as soon as you glue it, sprinkle glitter all over it making sure each side of the pencil is equally dipped in glitter.
  • 2.       Let it dry, once it has dried, you can use a hairspray and spray over the pencil so that the glitter does not keep falling off the pencil.


Wasn’t this an easy DIY craft? And that too, so creative?
