Show Me Your Technique with My Creative Time - School Pencils

Hello!  Today is "Show Me Your Technique" Tuesday with My Creative Time.  Two other MCT Designers, Cassandra and Amy, are also participating today.  You should have arrived here from Cassandra's Blog.  

Today I will show you how to make some cute pencils using Emma's All Around and My Teacher Rocks Stamp Sets.  The paper and choice of image can be altered to fit just about any occasion.  Since my children start school again in September I decided to do a school theme.



 
1.  First you need 2 Scallop circle die cuts, 1 stitched oval die cut, 1 Stitched Circle die cut and of course, a pencil.
 

2.  Put terrifically tacky tape or score tape on the back of your Stitched Oval die.


 3.  Place your pencil on the tape and close it over evenly.




4.   Put more tacky tape on BOTH sides of the stitched oval die.
 
 

 5.  Pull the film off the tape on both sides of the oval die cut, attach a scallop to one side, add glue and then the other scallop.
 
 6.  Now you are ready to add the stitched circle with your stamped image and...
TaDa  you are done with your pencil.

Here are the bunch of pencils I made for my kids teachers.  I also decorated a pencil holder to hold them.

List of Supplies:
My Creative Time products listed above
Edumacation and All Chalked Up Stacks   -  DCWV
Craft Stampin Pad, Whispher White  -  SU
White Embosing Powder  -  Martha Stewart Crafts
Peeled Paint and Salty Ocean Distress Inks
Copic Markers E02, E33, E25, W7, Y08, R29, YG09
Tim Holtz Marker Spun Sugar
Pencil cup and pencils  -  Target
Pom-pom ribbon  -  Michaels

That's it for me today.  I hope you enjoyed our "mini" blog hop today!  Thank you for stopping by!
Love and Hugs,
Cathryn :)

    I love how the teacher will have pencils that can clearly be seen as hers! I have students borrow pencils and then walk out with them, forgetting that they were borrowed. Great idea!
