    First step is to gather your pencils and removing the erasers with a needle nose pliers. This is easiest accomplished by gripping the metal eraser connector and twisting until it loosens.

    Once you have your eraser less pencils, gather up you glitter and Mod Podge. *Make sure to line your work area with paper as this process is about to get messy. **Make sure you have a place to hang the pencils ready to go. In a crunch a tripod or table edge can be used but make sure to warn any other occupants about where these hidden glitter bombs are located.

    Go ahead and wrap thread or string around the tops and tape it in place. I used packing tape but any decent tape should work. You will be hanging these pencils while they dry to get a uniform look.

    Once they are dry you'll want to try and knock off the excess glitter before using them or sealing them.
