Begin by gathering 3 regular sized craft sticks for each pencil. Use a scrap piece of cardstock to glue all the craft sticks together.

Now, paint the craft sticks a golden yellow color. We only had bright yellow, so we blended it with a small amount of orange to get the right color. Let the paint dry completely.

While the paint is drying, print the template for the tip and eraser piece and cut out. Trace the triangle tip on brown cardstock and the eraser on pink. Cut out.

Cut a wavy-ish line at the bottom of the triangle piece.

Next, use the black marker to draw the lead at the tip of the triangle. Also draw a band at the flat end of the eraser.

When the paint is completely dry, glue the tip to one end of the craft sticks.

Glue the eraser at the other end.

Finally, use a black pen to write “PENCIL” or “#2”, anything pencil or school related you’d like really, on the pencil.
