simple pencil toppers

This is a quick simple party favour project:



Tools
Pencils
Glue - Glue gun
Ink
Stamps
Interfacing (the nice and stiff kind)
Scraps of Material
Cotton Twill 3cm wide
Glitter (optional or in our house "with out exception there must be glitter" )

1. Stamp the the twill repetitively for number of pencils needed. I used ink and fabric paint - I then heat set both.


2. Cut into postage size stamp.

3. Iron fabric to interfacing.

4. Cut a front and back square, rectangle or even circle around the twill

5 Place fabric Wrong sides facing - Twill on top.

6. Sew Twill to Fabric - I used a small tight zig zag - appliqué stitch. Be sure to leave a gap at the base for the pencil to fit through

7. Squeeze a bit of glue into the pocket and insert pencil.

You can also stuff these and sew the opening , stick a magnet on the back and create a magnet
