| Pencils
Embroidery floss Tape Beads, charms or bells Felt Colored paper Scissors | |
| Seasons: Fall, Rainy day, Year round | |
| Materials: beads, fabric, paper, string | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | For a dangly decoration, tape the center of a 12-inch piece of embroidery floss to a pencil just below the eraser. Wind the ends of the floss around the pencil several times, then tie them together. |
| 2. | String beads, charms or bells onto the trailing ends. Tie overhand knots below the last beads to keep them from slipping off. |
| 3. | To make a fringed pencil top, cut out a 6-inch-wide felt circle with a 1/4-inch slit in the center and slip it over the eraser. Then, make a series of 2 1/2-inch cuts inward from the edge of the circle. |
| 4. | For a stand-up fringe, wrap and tape colored paper around the pencil end and snip downward through all the layers. |
