Washi tape
If you‚ve ever given a pencil to a friend or loved one as a gift, then you‚ve probably seen someone decorate it with washi tape. Washi tape is made of rice paper and is more durable than clear adhesive tape, and the best part is that it doesn‚t leave any sticky residue. This craft is perfect for back-to-school and is quick and easy to make. You can decorate pencils of any type, from mechanical pencils to standard No.2 pencils. You can use any color washi tape to create unique and personalized stationery. To make washi tape stick to pencils, simply stick the tape lengthwise to them.
Then, cut small strips of washi tape to create garland-like effects. Arrange the strips of tape in an alternating pattern over the pencil. Or, for a more elegant look, use multiple colors of washi tape to create a plaid pattern. The possibilities are endless! Washi tape is also perfect for dressing up pencils, pencil cases, and other hard-to-wrap items.
Washi tape can elevate average gifts to the extraordinary. This Japanese craft-themed tape is easy to use, comes in pretty designs, and can be used in wild quantities to secure wrapping paper. The best part about washi tape is that it is extremely affordable. You can find a package of washi tape that includes a winter-themed pattern. There are also several designs suitable for gift wrapping throughout the year. If you don‚t like the winter-themed washi tape, try out one of the seasonal designs instead.
Using washi tape to gift-wrap a pencil is quick and easy! Just wrap the pencil with one strip at a time to keep the pattern even. Once you have completed the first strip, apply some mod podge to secure the tape. Then, apply the mod podge to the “seam” area of the pencil. Your finished pencil is now ready to be wrapped. You can even gift it to your friends and family!
Tissue paper flower craft
Tissue paper flower crafts are a fun and inexpensive way to present a pencil. Using a small golf ball, cut five pieces of tissue paper into symmetrical flower shapes. Insert the pen through the middle of the flower and tie with green ribbon. Your pencil will be wrapped with a lovely floral appearance and your recipient will be delighted to receive your gift. If you don‚t have a green thumb, you don‚t need one.
First, fold a small piece of tissue paper into an accordion shape. Take a small piece of wire and wrap it around the middle point. You can use jewellery wire for this. Twist the wire inside the folded tissue paper. The wire is placed inside the paper flower. The tip of the wire should be cut off to form a stem. Once you have completed the paper flower, cut petals at three-fourths inches intervals to create a beautiful flower.
Next, cut a small strip of crepe paper to make the petals. Then, wrap the strip around the pencil. Cut a small square of crepe paper to form the center of each flower. Put the flower over the pencil eraser. Next, secure the piece of crepe paper with floral tape. Once it‚s secure, cut out the petals. Then, gently peel away the tissue.
Tissue paper flowers are a great way to decorate pencils. They can also be used for Valentine‚s Day cards. You can even turn the pencil into a miniature vase with a paper flower. These colorful flowers require no water to maintain them. They‚re also perfect for classroom decorations. A simple craft can make an impression on a friend or co-worker! There are many ways to decorate pencils with tissue paper, and you can create a unique and creative gift for your loved one.
Feather wrapping
If you‚ve always wanted to wrap a pencil in feathers, you can learn how to do this at home, if you‚re handy with a craft knife and a bit of patience. To get started, prepare your pen by trimming the ends of the feathers. Next, wrap the feathers in a spiral shape around the pen‚s top and bottom. You can use a hot glue gun to glue the feathers securely.
Using gold tipped feathers is a great way to give your pencil a touch of bling. You can wrap each pencil individually, or use one as a placecard for Thanksgiving. This way, each guest can write down what they‚re thankful for. Feather pencils also make wonderful gifts for back to school! And if you‚re a crafty type, feather wrapping a pencil is a great family activity.
This craft is easy to do and makes a great party favor or office decoration. To make a feather pen, you‚ll need a pencil and some florist‚s tape. Wrap the tape several times, and then tie a ribbon around it. You can use standard school glue to secure the feather to the pencil. Using the ribbon as a tip will also make it look more festive. You can even write the message on the gift tag with a feather.
Craft foam
A colorful craft foam pencil topper will make a plain old pencil look fresh and fun. The carved shape can be anything from a heart to a pencil or even just a simple shape. You can use outdoor markers with a chalky finish for this project. After carving the shape, simply wrap the fabric around the foam pad, attaching it to the bottom of the pencil or pen with tape. The finished product is a unique gift!
