I prefer to write with pencils over pens –especially if it's a cute pencil! Being in the back to school mode over here I thought why not make my own cute supplies? That's when these paint dipped pencils were born. You probably have all the supplies on hand to make these today!
All you need is pencils....and paint!
Remove the erasers from the ends of your pencils.
Then just dip the eraser end (with eraser removed) into a jar of craft paint. Hold for a few seconds to let any paint drip off that might need to.
To dry, place the pencil (led side down) into a glass filled with uncooked rice or beans to keep them propped up. Let them dry for at least an hour.
After the pain is dry you can easily push back in the eraser. I like the look better with them off so I didn't replace it. Anyway, I rather use these adorable macaron erasers I posted to Instagram a couple weeks ago :)
These would also be cute gifts to make for a teacher or older student. Make a few colors and wrap the bunch up with twine or ribbon!
