To make pencil jewelry, you will need:

- Fine sandpaper;
- Drill and drills of small diameter;
- Thread (for necklace);
- Adhesive (for brooch and earrings);
- metal base blanks for brooches and earrings.
How to make jewelry from pencils?
1.First, you need to make beads from colored pencils. You can use either hexagonal or round pencils. The beads in the photo are approximately 7 mm high. Use a fine-toothed sharp hacksaw to cut the beads. Take your time when sawing the pencils and do not apply excessive force. This way, you are less likely to rub off the paint on the outside of the pencil.
2-3.Don't worry if the cut of the bead looks sloppy. Using fine sandpaper, you can quickly bring the beads to a neat finished look. It will be convenient to fix a strip of sandpaper on the table and rub the piece of pencil against it. 4. Now drill a through hole in each bead using a small drill. To avoid drilling into the table, use a wooden stand.
Once you have cut and drilled a small number of beads, all that is left to do is string them onto a thread - your beads are ready!Beads can be glued together to make a pendant, earrings and a brooch.
Sharpened pencil tips can also be used to make interesting decorations, and they are quite functional – you can write and draw with the pencils!The process is the same as in the previous version with beads. We saw off the pointed ends of the pencils with a hacksaw, drill small holes through and thread the thread.
