If you can make a simple pom-pom or tassel out of leftover yarn or string, you can make a cute pencil-topper.
The Yarn Council of America provides a simple how-to tutorial for making the pencil toppers, and you choose a favourite character. Make a cat, dog, frog, or snowman — or go from there to make a custom pencil puppet of your own design.
It could be the perfect happy little surprise gift to bribe (er, encourage) young kids to go merrily off to school…
Ken, you just made my whole day! Crush? I subscribed to the Ken Hoyt Style blog within 30 seconds — literally — and there’s a serious possibiliy that I’d sell my sainted mother for your photo styling skills…
I love this… and your sensibility! Fabulous… I’m having a design crush… sigh!
cheers,
Ken
