Back to top school year I suggest you interesting idea How to make a pencil out of paper with your own hands. This wonderful craft can be a classroom decoration, interesting surprise for children storing sweets inside.
Materials for work:
- Colored paper, but better not very thick cardboard. A paper pencil can be of any color, but still the eraser looks better pink, the lead – black or gray, near the lead – a beige area;
- Paper towel roll. If this is not observed, such a roll can be made from any cardboard;
- Silver material. It could be paper adhesive tape, foil, or even a candy wrapper;
- Scotch tape, if you plan to place objects inside the pencil;
- Scissors, glue stick, simple pencil.
How to make a pencil out of paper with your own hands?
Making an eraser
Trace your roll on pink cardboard or paper, just not too close, but a couple of millimeters more.
Around this small circle, draw a slightly larger circle. No special effort is required, it may not be very even, but the edges will still bend.
Cut along the contour of a large circle, cut a strip from this pink paper, approximately 5.5-6 cm wide. The length should correspond to the circumference of your roll.
Make slits on the outer large circle, extending to the small circle, and fold them over.
Apply glue to the bent parts or to the roll and glue this part.
Glue the prepared pink strip of paper on top. The eraser is ready.
DIY paper pencil - color choice
The next stage of work is the middle part of the pencil.
But, it should be noted that if you need a complete pencil, you do not plan to put anything inside, then before pasting the entire pencil with the desired color, you first need to make the area of the lead. And then stick the paper on top of the middle part of the pencil.
If you plan to place something in a craft, measure the required dimensions and cut out the required part from colored paper.
Glue the paper using a glue stick to the roll.
Next you need to make a silver eraser holder. To do this, cut a strip from silver paper, wrapper or foil and glue it in the area where the paper meets the eraser. If you have a silver adhesive plaster, the work is greatly simplified.
Making the stylus area
Cut out a circle from beige cardboard, approximately its size can be no more than half an A4 sheet. You will also need a circle half the size of black or dark gray paper.
If you do not plan to open the pencil, the beige circle should be larger, taking into account the folds that will later need to be glued to the roll. That is, first you need to make a large cone, measure right size for the near-slate area, and cut the rest of the part, as in working with an eraser, and glue it.
In this case, this size of circles is sufficient.
Bend the circle in half, find the middle and cut along the fold to this middle.
Make a cone, carefully matching it with the size of the roll; the edges should completely match or be just a little larger, a couple of millimeters.
Make a black cone in the same way, after trying it on a beige one.
Apply glue to the tip of the beige cone and glue the lead.
Fill the middle of the pencil with candy or small office supplies (eraser, sharpener, real pencils, pens, etc.). Glue a conical piece with a stylus on top in two places on small pieces of tape.
This is how you can make a pencil out of paper with your own hands. Children will also love making this pencil maker, because the giant school supplies- it's funny and interesting.
Gifts have long become one of the indispensable attributes for anyone, and especially children's party. And if we're talking about school holiday, then in order to lift the mood, you should definitely give each of the students in the class at least a small present. At the same time, it is quite logical to want the surprises to have a practical purpose, but at the same time look festive. One of these options could be a craft in the form of a pencil made of cardboard.
What is good about a paper pencil?
This version of the craft is relatively easy to do; even the youngest children can do it, albeit under the supervision and under the strict guidance of adults.
Advice
Before you start doing it and calling the children to join, look at the workshops for the corresponding one. This will help avoid many mistakes.
What you need for a paper pencil
To make a paper “pencil”, you should prepare yourself a cardboard tube in advance. Its role can be played by the base of disposable paper towels or toilet paper, as well as a base from culinary foil and tracing paper, or fairly thick cardboard from which to make a cylinder. You will also need more thin cardboard, tip paper and brightly colored packaging such as wrapping paper. Adhesive tape, electrical tape and colored tape will help complement the elegant appearance of the gift. You will also need a black felt-tip pen, glue, scissors and, of course, a gift “filling” that will be placed inside the pencil.
Important!!!
As this very filling, you can use various office supplies, such as pencils and pens, felt-tip pens and erasers, as well as sharpeners, hair bands and even handkerchiefs. You can fill the pencil with candies, small toys and key chains - in short, anything.
To create a package that resembles a large paper pencil, you need to cut out a segment of a circle from cardboard. One circle can be divided into three parts, and each of them can then be used in the process of work. It is necessary to glue the straight edges of the segment, thereby obtaining a cone. Then we glue it too. The cone should easily fit onto a pre-prepared cardboard cylinder. If you don’t have a cylinder, this is not a problem - you can make one yourself by gluing a tube from thick cardboard and matching its diameter to the size of the cone. Then you put the cone on the cylinder and glue it, and then secure the cone. Paint the end of the cone black or some other color, giving it a greater resemblance to a pencil. Then you need to wrap the cylinder with wrapping paper and glue it. Inside such a pencil package you need to put a pre-prepared “filling”. Then from thin paper cut out a fairly large circle and make cuts along its entire circumference. Then wrap it around the free edge of the cylinder and secure it with adhesive tape. The end result should be something similar to the eraser found at the end of a regular pencil. It needs to be secured and in general, the “pencil” craft made from paper and cardboard is ready. If you wish, you can decorate it with ribbons and decorative elements, or come up with some other interesting packaging for a gift. Since even children can make a pencil out of paper, this gift idea can really be used not only at school, but also when organizing a party in kindergarten.
Bookmark pencil
To create a bookmark in the form of a pencil, you will need colored single-sided paper and stationery or PVA glue. Making such a craft is extremely simple, but the process itself is interesting for children. This bookmark is easy for kids to make. younger age, guided by the help of adults. And you can use it for books or even school textbooks. And such a craft can also be a pleasant gift for book lover friends. A rectangle is cut out of paper, then it is folded at the sides and glued together, leaving a little free space at the top. From the second piece of paper you need to cut a square, bending its 2 upper corners and pre-coating them with glue. The free, lower part must be inserted into the base rectangle, and then everything must be glued together. The tip is painted black for greater plausibility.
Conclusion:
A homemade paper pencil will be a stylish accessory, and it can also serve as a useful thing for book lovers, acting as a bookmark. It all depends on what kind of pencil you decide to make.

- white coated cardboard;
- glue;
- narrow tape;
- light brown or beige gouache (using it White paper will be tinted to resemble wood).
The craft is made like this:
- Draw a pattern on a piece of colored paper and cut it out. At the same time, we must not forget about allowances.
- The edges will bend well if you go over them with the sharp edges of scissors. Next, the edges need to be bent.
- The pencil should begin to be glued from the tip.
- After gluing the tip to the pencil, you need to glue both parts together using double-sided tape.
- Taking white coated cardboard, you should cut out the base and “skirt” from it.
- For tinting wood-like details, gouache or dry pastel is suitable. Having crushed the pastel, you need to apply it to paper or cardboard using wet wipe. When applying, move from the middle to the edges.
- Glue the finished parts together.
When assembling the pencil, the base should be glued to the bottom, and the “skirt” to the tip.
Bookmark in pencil shape
A bookmark in the form of a pencil can be used for textbooks. You can also give it to friends who like to read books.
To make this craft you will need:
- colored paper;
- office glue;
- black gouache or pastel paint.
The bookmark is made as follows:
- Having cut out a rectangle from paper, you need to bend it at the sides and glue it together, leaving free place up.
- The second piece of paper is used to cut out a large square. Having coated the upper corners with glue, you need to bend them.
- The lower part must be placed in a rectangular base and all the parts must be glued together.
To make the tip of the pencil look believable, you need to paint it with black gouache or pastel. If you don't have them, you can use a black felt-tip pen for coloring.
Paper pencil using origami technique
A paper pencil made using the origami technique cannot be used for drawing. But it looks attractive and original if double-sided paper is used for its production.
It is made as follows:
- Initially, you need to prepare a square of colored paper (it can be any shade). The side length of such a square is arbitrary.
- The first fold is made through the center of the opposite edges.
- Having returned the square to its original position, you need to make a fold (a couple of other sides should be involved).
- Having unfolded the part, you need to measure a quarter from the side of the paper square and make another fold (transverse). To ensure accurate measurements, you can use a pre-prepared ironed strip.
- Having straightened the square, you need to similarly determine another bend point. In this case, you should focus on the new strip.
- Moving towards the edges, you need to bend the square again. He must remain in this position.
- The square must be finally bent through the opposite edges (perpendicular to the strips that have been previously ironed).
- The marked strips will make subsequent operations easier. The upper ends should be bent towards you.
By bending the corners for fastening, you should form a figure resembling a pencil. The paper must be fixed in this position.
Making panels from paper pencils
Finally, you can make a panel from paper pencils.
For this you will need:
- colored cardboard or paper;
- pencil;
- glue;
- scissors;
- ruler.
A panel of paper pencils is made as follows:
- To make a pencil, you need to take a sheet of colored cardboard or paper. Fold the paper in half and cut it along the line.
- Having folded the edge of the resulting rectangle by a centimeter, you should turn the workpiece with its front side and fold it inward (along its entire length).
- Having unfolded the workpiece and bending the extreme corners to the line outlined in advance, you need to turn the paper pencil with the wrong side.
- Having folded the resulting workpiece in half widthwise (a triangle-shaped spot should remain), you need to turn it again.
- Having folded the bottom edge towards the middle, you need to do the same with the other edge.
- To connect the valves, you need to insert the corners into the resulting pocket.
- To “sharpen” the pencil, bend it towards the middle of the edge of the canvas. white. The valves must be connected with a drop of glue (for strength).
The rest of the paper pencils are made in the same way. By gluing them together, you can decorate the resulting panel with flowers or paper leaves.
Exist various ways how to make a pencil from paper. Ready craft Can be used as a bookmark or room decoration. If you wish, you can involve your child in making such a souvenir.
There are so many options for bookmarks you can make with your children using the origami technique! Needless to say, the child does not open the book at all and does not read anything. It’s worth stocking up on a few wonderful bookmarks and placing them one by one in your favorite book or school textbook. Believe me, the child will always be interested in opening it and seeing what’s inside. And at the same time, he will quickly find the right page (the one on which he finished reading last time) and will definitely read something. In general, we assure you that a paper bookmark is not only interesting to make, but also useful craft.
This master class tells you how to make a popular pencil paper figurine using the origami technique, which is perfect as a bookmark. Use any bright shades and experiment.
What you will need to create an origami pencil bookmark:
- a strip of colored paper (a sheet of A4 or other format cut lengthwise);
- perhaps a little glue to hold the ends of the craft together after folding, or you can do without it.
How to make an origami pencil:
If you cut a sheet of A4 paper lengthwise and take one half, you will get a strip of suitable size for creating a craft. Required with reverse side the leaf must be white, i.e. the paper must be one-sided.
Turn the sheet of paper with the white side facing you and fold the paper across, leaving the edge about 1 cm or so. This will show the back of the yellow side of the paper.
Turn the workpiece again with the yellow side facing you. In the place where the fold was, find the middle and, based on this point, fold the upper corners into a house, as seen in the photo. A yellow stripe should be visible in the middle.
Next, based on the same middle point, bend the upper (already beveled) corners again to highlight a sharper spire, the tip of which will be colored. This will be the future lead of our pencil. And in color it will be the same as the paper we chose.
Turn the workpiece with the white side facing you.
Fold the paper in the middle, lifting the bottom end of the sheet up and showing the colored side. Do not bring the edge of the paper to the sharp tip of the pencil by 1-2 cm.
Rotate the workpiece again. Fold the right one along and left side.
The bookmark pencil is ready. All that remains is to properly iron (smooth) the folded sides or even glue them neatly if the paper is thick and coming apart.
Age: from 7 years, difficulty: medium difficulty.
But wherever we are,
We haven't forgotten you
How a mother is not forgotten by her sons...
Simple and heartfelt,
You are our eternal youth,
My first teacher!
(“School Waltz” lyrics by M. Matusovsky, music by I. Dunaevsky)
For more than forty years, since 1965, schools at the beginning of October are especially noisy and solemn - Teacher's Day is coming soon.
Much, of course, has been forgotten, but it is safe to say that the name of the first teacher is remembered by most of the students.
The work of a teacher requires enormous patience and constant professional improvement; its importance for the formation and development of society cannot be overestimated.
The work of teachers and professors deserves deep recognition and gratitude.
So we want to sincerely congratulate all teachers on their professional holiday and make a craft for this wonderful holiday.
How to make a pencil from cardboard with your own hands...
Materials and tools:
- striped cardboard (A4),
- sheet of yellow colored paper (cardboard) (A4),
- piece (5*5 cm) of orange paper,
- compass,
- scissors,
- pencil,
- eraser,
- ruler,
- glue,
- small pieces of wrapping/dressing paper,
- big crystal,
- narrow tape 30-40cm.
It's good to have a dull knife or some kind of device for bending cardboard, but if you don't have them, then a metal ruler or the same scissors will do just fine.
Step 1. Let's make the “body” of the pencil
We take striped cardboard - A4 sheet. We take cardboard because the product will be more stable. Fold the cardboard in half. Then we bend each half in half again. Then we bend each part in half. And so we continue until we get the thickness of each strip 1.5-2 cm. This blank will become the basis of the pencil figure.
Step 2. Making the “head” of a pencil.
Take the yellow one colored paper A4. We measure the middle horizontally. Take a compass and draw a circle. Then we cut out a 120 degree sector from the circle + allowance for gluing. Then we glue this part onto a regular sheet of A4 paper (so that the part is stronger, but softer than cardboard).
Step 3. We glue our parts and connect them, inserting the “head” into the “torso”. Then carefully glue the teeth.
