Instructions

  • Download the pencil craft, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

  • Glue the eyes in the middle of the pencil tip, above the mouth.
  • Next, glue the cheeks to both sides of the mouth.
  • Finish off the top of the pencil by gluing the lead to the top of the pencil, then cut off the excess paper.
  • Take the pencil base and glue it to the main portion of the brown paper bag.
  • Place the eraser on the bottom of the pencil base and glue it in place.
  • Glue the metal band just above the eraser.
  • Position the top of the pencil onto the flap portion of the brown paper bag and glue it down.
  • Using a ruler, make lines with an orange marker from the bottom of the zig-zag to the top of the metal band.
