Top Tip
Make the pencil stand thick to give the pen or pencil more support.
How to Make
- Begin by creating two pom poms: To do this, open up the small green pom pom maker and wrap your chosen coloured wool around one of the semi circles.
- The more layers added the bigger and fluffier the pom pom will be. On the other semi circle, wrap your chosen coloured wool at the bottom of both ends.
- Wrap the remainder of the semi-circle with lots of layers of coloured wool. Close the pom pom maker and cut the wool down the gap through the middle of the pom pom maker.
- Remove the pom pom maker to reveal the pom pom. Trim the pom pom to make a neat fluffy shape.
- Make sure to create one pom pom smaller than the other by trimming one of the pom poms to size or adding less wool into the pom pom maker.
- Then, make a foot stand by rolling the polymer clay into a ball and create 2 slits with a modelling tool. Shape the birds foot using the photo as a guide.
- Stick your pencil into the stand to create a hole for the pencil to stand in. Follow the instructions on how to bake the polymer clay.
- Then, slide the smaller pom pom onto the middle of the pencil and the larger pom pom on top, you can use glue to secure them in place.
- Next, cut out a triangle from orange self-adhesive felt for the beak. Stick the eyes and beak onto the larger pom pom and slot the pencil into the stand.
