Pencil Jewelry

People say that a real woman can make 3 things out of nothing: a scandal, a salad and a hat.

But what will happen if you give her colored pencils? It turns out that many designers make amazing jewelry out of pencils.

They are very easy and cheap to make. And if there are children in your family who constantly have a pack of broken pencil stubs, then it’s completely free. And how much pleasure!

So let's get started. We select the color scheme. It is not necessary to use new pencils, you can collect those that are already problematic to draw with or just cut off a couple of centimeters from each pencil.

Using a small saw, we cut the pencils into "cubes-bars", 6-7 mm long. The main thing - do not persist with the saw, otherwise you will break the lead. Next, clean the resulting material with zero sandpaper. You should get smooth beads, as in the photo.

You also need to make holes in the beads for fishing line. Take the smallest drill. And then - a matter of taste. Collect beads into beads the way you like it.

The author of the idea is the craftswoman Iris Tsante from Greece. Among her works there are other stunning jewelry.
