This pencil topper made with paper stars and colourful ribbon turns any pencil into a party. Fun to make and perfect for handing out!
1
Choose two colours of cardstock you like (in this example, Grapefruit and River were used). Punch two stars from the paper for each pencil.
2
Use satin ribbon from the “Summer” set. Cut a 4.7 inch (12 cm) piece from each colour. Use all colours once per pencil. If you’d like a fuller look, you can add extra ribbons.
3
Place the stars textured side down. Apply some glue to one star and stick the ribbon pieces on in a random order. Let it dry for a moment.
4
Lay a pencil in the middle of the star and add some glue around the pencil (but not underneath it).
5
Stick the second star on top and gently shape the paper around the pencil. Press down firmly until the glue holds.
6
Trim all ribbon ends to the same length – and your cheerful pencils are ready to shine!
