Pencil Baubles! Aren't these little pencil nubs the sweetest?
I wanted to share a great idea on the day known as "back to school" for most of us in Canada.
I made these pencil baubles with two pours of EasyCast. The first pour filled the mold to the 1/3 point. I let this set for about 30 minutes allowing the resin to gel a little. Then I added my pencil nubs and let this cure overnight. Finally, I made a second batch of EasyCast and filled the mold to the brim.
I plan to turn these into something wearable!
When I was working on the pencils I noticed that the shaving from the sharpener were pretty neat too.
I added them to a mold too.
Look how beautiful this turned out!
EasyCast is really EASY to work with!
EasyCast is a two component,
low odor,
solvent free,
clear casting epoxy.
It’s ideal for casting small decorative items!
ooooh, this makes me want to try a charm bracelet with shortened colored pencils
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the pencils nubs! Colored pencil shavings look really cool as well, they would make for a great project!
ReplyDeleteI can see those pencil baubles making really cute keychains for kids' backpacks. How would you go about doing that?
ReplyDeleteOkay girl you are killing me here with great ideas! I have had a tiny pencil from my mentor and second father, the brilliant illustrator Paul Degen who died a few years ago. NOW I finally know what to do with it!!! XOXO! LOL! I love it! :D
