5 Best Coloured Pencil Crafts for Every Age Group

Are you searching for new DIY ideas to do in your spare time, DIY enthusiasts? If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place as you are going to learn some of the best craft ideas that you can do with coloured pencils. 

Paper Punch Pencils

To create these cool paper punch pencils, which can be used as decoration or gift tags, all you need is some coloured cardstock and a few simple paper punches. It will be an ideal finishing touch for back-to-school creations and teacher gifts.

The coloured pencil holder is both attractive and valuable! The pencils can be inserted, used, and then pushed back into the exterior of the can, which makes this holder special.

How to Make It?

Paint the can white and set it aside to dry. To make a decorative rim, cut two strips of materials long enough to wrap across the upper and bottom part of the can. Glue the pieces together with white craft adhesive. Wrap the mounting putty across the middle of the can in your palms. Work your way around the can; press coloured pencils onto the putty. To add a decorative touch, tie a strip of ribbon all-around the can.

Hanging Pencil Necklace

You can create a necklace that is ideal for people who want to scribble. Choose three shades you prefer and use a saw to cut them down to size. Sharpen the pencils to make them usable, and then drill a hole in the top of each one. 

Make a chain that goes all the way around, and you’ll have writing utensils anytime you need them. That’s what there is to it. It is a whole slew of accessories designed to bring out the inner colouring book designer.

Confetti Pencils

Confetti is one of those things that can’t be matched when it comes to bringing a little happiness into your day. Those bright flashes of colour signal joyful occasions, and in weeks like this, when pandemic has been dragging everyone down, it’s better if you could use a little more of that party vibe!

How to Make?

Tape off the areas with your pencil where you don’t want the white to be sprayed. It means the tip of your pencils, so if yours has an eraser on the top, you can tape the section off as well. Your pencils can be painted white with a can of spray paint. Sticking the tips of the pencils in a foam block (one which you don’t like having colour on) was the best way to do this. 

Instead of laying the pencils flat on the sides (which will spoil the paint job! ), you should spray paint the entire pencil one after the other and hold it elevated to dry. Begin painting the confetti-strewn areas. To keep it as plain as possible, you can remove the stickers after the spots get dried.

Pencil Cup

Making a pencil cup out of coloured pencils makes perfect sense, right? Teachers would adore this present, which they will be able to show on their desks for years.

Summing Up

Coloured pencils are a beautifully dynamic tool that is widely favoured by artists and enthusiasts alike due to their diversity of use—plus, you can create awesome crafts that will wow everyone.
