Make It Hybrid Monday: Candy Pencil

As everyone is getting ready to or already heading back in school, it seems like the perfect time to create a quick gift for teachers and students alike to enjoy. Inspired by the many examples in the galleries and blogs, I set out to make some candy pencils and you can too in minutes! I used the Blush Beauty kit as the base of my project but any kit with a pink and yellow patterned paper will work.

Supply list:

– Single packages of Rolos

– Hershey Hugs/ Kisses

– 5 inch x 3 ½ inch strip of yellow cardstock/ patterned paper

– ¾ inch x 3 ½ inch strip and 1 inch square of pink cardstock/ patterned paper

– ½ inch x 3 ½ inch strip of aluminum foil

– Glue Dots

– Decorative Scissors

– Circle punch

Step1: Trim the edge of your yellow cardstock/ patterned paper using your decorative scissors and wrap yellow cardstock/ patterned paper around candy roll

Step 2: Wrap pink cardstock around the top of the candy roll to form eraser

Step 3: Wrap foil strip around the bottom of the pink cardstock to form metal band

Step 4: Punch out circle out of 1 inch square of pink cardstock and adhere to the top of the candy roll

Step 5: Adhere Hershey Hug/ Kiss at the end of candy roll and decorate as desired

To mix it up, I also made a pencil using a roll of Mentos and another patterned paper from the same kit. The possibilities are endless!
