Every child loves to draw. And this means that in every house where there is a child, there is also a bunch of colored pencils. Sometimes our kids draw so much and often that the pencils are quickly used up, but their small “stubs” still remain. Do not rush to throw these leftovers in the trash. We will show you how they can be very well exploited, and even keep the child interesting at the same time. Let's watch.

So, from the remnants of pencils, you can easily make: interesting bracelets, colored earrings, photo frames, and just various geometric figures (they, by the way, can be used as coasters for cups).

Doing

To make bracelets from the remains of pencils, we will need to file them, and then make holes (so that each such piece can then be easily strung on a thread). Your husband can help you with this, or you can do it yourself, it's not difficult. The main thing is to have the necessary tools at hand.

You can also make bracelets or beads from the front of the pencils. Like this.

From the same front parts, you will get excellent earrings if you buy special hooks for earrings (earrings) in needlework stores. They cost literally pennies.

Well, if you just cut the remnants of pencils into even particles, you can make coasters for cups or a teapot. These are the bright charms you can get.

Crafts from pencils with your own hands. Let's say you have accumulated a huge amount of colored wooden pencils that are a pity to throw away, like good pencils, but it's all the same, they are superfluous, since the children have several more complete sets of pencils.

If you are familiar with a similar situation, then do-it-yourself pencil crafts may be what you need. For crafts we need:

1. Colored wooden pencils of the classical form (that is, hexagonal).
2. A hacksaw for metal or wood with fine teeth is not a jigsaw, but not a hacksaw either (she this case sawing is most convenient).
3. A piece of fine sandpaper, a fine-grained file (it is possible without it).
4. A drill or a screwdriver is better (you don’t need a screwdriver for high power, it will work out more precisely).
5. Drill 2 mm.
6. Super glue.
7. A pin for badges or a pin from an old brooch.

Let's make a children's necklace and brooch.

To begin with, we saw pencils with a hacksaw into pieces seven millimeters long. Hurry up, do not press hard, it may be more convenient to cut just with a hacksaw blade. We try to make even cuts.

If the cuts turned out to be uneven, it doesn’t matter, we put sandpaper on a flat surface and simply drive the workpiece along it, aligning the cut.

When we have made a sufficient number of such segments, we make a necklace. It is necessary to drill each segment from the side, we drill not directly on the table, but by adjusting some kind of piece of wood. We drilled holes, string pieces of a pencil on a thread and the necklace is ready. The little girl will love the necklace.

The necklace comes with a brooch, you will need 19 pencil segments. We collect a brooch from the segments, put them on a flat surface, and then fit them tightly to each other with faceted sides, on a flat surface. We just choose some segment as the central one and screw it up from all sides.

Picked up color scheme Now glue it with superglue. Then we grind, drive along the sandpaper until the top and bottom sides are smooth.

Glue a pin on one side and the brooch is ready. DIY crafts made from pencils, there are a little less pencils, a little more fun.

Used in children's and adult art. With their help, even a non-professional artist can create vivid drawings. Have you ever tried to make crafts from pencils? creative ideas and helpful tips especially for you in our article.

Vases and coasters made of pencils

Vases made of colored pencils look very original. Even a small child can make such a craft.

Choose a cylindrical container of the right size. A simple way to make a vase is to line the inner jar or glass with pencils and secure with an elastic band. You can disguise the fixing element by tying a bright ribbon or decorative braid on top. Do-it-yourself pencil crafts using the described technique can be made more durable. Use transparent glue to fix on the base. Additionally, you can cover the vase with colorless varnish.

Photo frames and colorful boxes

In the process of drawing, waste is often formed - heavily worn pencil stubs. Do not rush to throw them away, try to collect this waste material at first glance in a separate box.

What crafts can be made from pencil cores? Try to decorate them with any flat surface using the mosaic technique. The most interesting thing is to decorate photo frames and boxes of simple shapes. Take pencil cores no longer than 5 cm, sharpen them carefully and sharply enough. Glue the resulting blanks to the base in random order. A bright element for decorating the interior of a creative person is ready!

Beads can be made from ordinary pencils. Using a thin hacksaw or jigsaw, cut your art supplies into 5-8mm pieces. Sand the edges of each blank with sandpaper. Now it remains only to make holes with an awl. Finished beads can be strung on a thread or cord to form a necklace or bracelet. If desired, it is easy to make a pendant, for this, glue together an arbitrary number of sawn blanks from pencils.

What else can be done with pencils?

Simple pencil crafts that everyone can make with their own hands are decorative table coasters. The simplest method of manufacture involves the use of sufficiently long drawing utensils.

Glue pencils together different colors and let them dry. The craft will look interesting if you place drawing accessories in checkerboard pattern, alternating the sharpened tip and the blunt part. The resulting stand can only be used as decoration. It is not suitable for hot dishes, because when heated, the paintwork of the pencils can be damaged.

If desired, in a similar technique, you can create a creative wall panel any size. Fairly simple crafts made from pencils are children's toys. We attach a small figure to one end of the pencil, it can be an animal or fairy tale character. Use the opposite end as a pen. It is especially convenient to use such figurines "on sticks" for playing theater.

If the child is still small enough and just learning colors, try to make each figurine a certain shade. The result is an interactive tutorial for learning and playing.
