Hi, friends! I wanted to share a quick tutorial on how I made some adorable pencil-themed spacer sticks for my incoming first graders. In the past, I used plain craft sticks and wrote "spacer stick" on them. I've also been known to glue a googly eye on them! Both worked just fine, but I was feeling crafty this year and decided to make some cute ones!
You will need:
You will need:
- tin foil, wax paper, newspaper
- large craft sticks
- several small paintbrushes
- yellow paint
- pink paint
- silver/gray paint
- peach paint
- black paint
Lay out some paper or foil. Line up your unpainted craft sticks. Begin by painting one tip of the sticks with pink paint. I painted about 3/4 an inch pink. I did two coats and waited on the pink to dry before repeating the same thing with gray. Next was yellow. I did some peach down at the other tip of the stick (also about 3/4 an inch). Finish off by rounding the tip with a bit of black. Easy Peasy!
