Do It Yourself: Decorative Personalized Pencils

This is an easy and fun project that anyone can do from home for FREE! Unless you are fresh out of some Elmer's glue!

At first I used scrapbook paper which is so cute but I personally like smaller pieces of paper to tape or glue on to the pencil like in the second part of this project.

Mom's, this would be so fun to do for your kids before they go back to school! Teens and students, you can make your own personalized pencils
with whatever you want! Do I see glitter in the future?

Things you will need:
Paper (plain, notebook, or scrapbook)
Scissors
Pencil (to glue on)
Pencil to write with
Elmer's glue OR tape

Cost: Free!

Step 1

Have all of your supplies ready. Tape, Glue, Scissors, Pencil to decorate, Pencil to write with, ruler, and paper.

Step 2

Pick out the paper that you want to use. I used scrapbook paper for this part. Turn it facing down and make a mark from the edge of the pencil to the tip (where the paper will wrap around the pencil).

Step 3

Use your ruler to create a straight line (from at the end of the pencil). Then have your paper facing horizontal again to make about a 1 inch width (the width of most rulers) that will fit around your pencil.

Step 4

Cut out the box that you have just drawn.

Step 5

Tape the end of the paper to a section of the pencil and make sure that it is flush even on both ends of the pencil.

Step 6

Keep taping. Make sure everything is VERY tight. Try to not overuse the tape like I did. If you can use about 1 layer of tape for each section, that should make the best outcome.

Step 7

You're done! I added an "i love you" note under some more tape. You can add in any notes or other ideas with paper to this concept.


Project Part 2
Faster, Simple, and Easier Concept

Step 1

Cut out some paper with words, symbols, or drawings. Scrapbook paper or paper with designs on it would probably look fantastic like this.

Step 2

Use glue (or tape if you prefer, but glue was really fast and easy) to glue on your notes or designs. Then you are done! This is a cute way to make any sort of pencil design that you want for free!

I hope you enjoyed this Do It Yourself Project! Feel free to post your outcomes!
