You Will Need (6 things)

  • Pencil(s)
  • Chain or string if you want
  • Key Ring
  • Jump Ring(s) / Links
  • Super Glue
  • Needle, Pin(s) or other sharp pointy object

Steps (7 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    First you need a bit of old pencil (colored is pretty) that can be any size depending on your taste. If you don't have an old bit you can chop a bit off a normal sized pencil and sharpen the edge.

  2. 2

    Now you need to create a little hole in the pencil lead at the top. You can use a needle or pin and just keep scraping.

  3. 3

    Now you need a little piece of wire with a hook at the end. Sorry that the picture is so small but it looks like a number 9 made of wire.

  4. 4

    Super glue the wire into the hole you created previously.

  5. 5

    While the glue is drying you can make the key chain part. I used a chain but you can use string, ribbon, beads, buttons or anything you can think of.

  6. 6

    Use a link to join the key chain to the loop of wire, which by now is stuck inside the pencil.

  7. 7

    There you have it, a pencil key chain!
    If you want you can make a necklace, m a pencil charm bracelet in different colors, maybe even earrings. The possibilities are endless :)
