DIY TASSEL PENCILS
Happy 4th of July!
These tassel pencils are easy to make, fun to use and can be made any time of the year.
We made these pencils with cousins Emma and Olivia, before heading north to meet more cousins, at the lake for 4th of July celebrations. After the parade, swimming, the BBQing and baseball, there’s always time to creating. The kids really don’t need entertaining but, it’s become a tradition for me to plan a Treasure Hunt and I have to try harder and hardest to out fox my oldest nephews! They are was how I thought up freezing clues (like this.) It’s really a fun element to add to a blazing hot day. These pencils will be a part of the kit the kids will find at the end of their fun. It seems like this year they’re busy taking note for their Nature Club and I see that they’ll be put to quick use. I love that. Have you tried this before? I’m so happy to meet you here with this quick, simple and shiny willowday project that you can make with you own hands, too! Happy Willowday Making!
