Step 1

Gather your materials!

Step 2

Grab the four pieces of colored construction paper and begin drawing the shapes for your pencil. The long part of your pencil will be a rectangle on the yellow paper, the eraser part will be half a circle on the pink paper, the wood, on the brown paper, and graphite part of your pencil, on the black paper, will be triangles. Once you have drawn your shapes you will then cut them out.

Step 3

Now that your shapes have been cut out it’s time to glue it all together. From top to bottom the pencil goes eraser, pencil, wood, and graphite.

Step 4

Next, you will cut a small rectangle strip of duct tape to be the metal holding your eraser to your pencil.

Step 5

Now that you have completed your pencil you can decorate it. Personalize it with fun beads, dried pasta, or maybe draw a creative design! The options are endless.
