Poised for note taking, these posable writing buddies easily slip on and off a pencil top.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Embroidery floss
Craft wire Wooden bead Foam pencil grip Pushpin Permanent markers | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: craft wire, embroidery floss | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Loosely wrap embroidery floss around your palm about a
dozen times to create a coil of hair. Twist a 7 1/2-inch length
of plastic-coated 22-gauge craft wire around the center of the
hank. |
| 2. |  Thread a 6- to 8-mm round wooden bead head onto the wire
ends flush to the hair. For a body, use a foam pencil grip. Poke
armholes in the foam with a pushpin or the end of a paper
clip. |
| 3. |  Thread the wire ends down into the pencil grip and out
through the armholes. |
| 4. | String two 4-mm cylindrical wooden beads (about 1/2 inch long each) onto each arm wire and shape the wire tips into loops for hands. |
| 5. |  Trim and style the hair as you like. Then draw on a face
with fine-point permanent markers, and your completed character
is ready to top a pencil. |
