What you’ll need to make some cute Felt Pencil Toppers for Back to School:

Apples:

• Two apples – red or green
• One green leaf
• One brown stem
• Green or red embroidery thread
• Needle
• Scissors
• Black marker
• Google eyes
• Glue gun

Ladybug:

• Two red circles
• One black half circle
• One black line, the length of the circle
• Two smaller black lines
• Red embroidery thread
• Needle
• Scissors
• Google eyes
• Glue gun

Bumblebee:

• Two yellow ovals
• One black half circle
• Three black lines, the width of the oval
• Two smaller black lines
• One small black triangle
• Yellow embroidery thread
• Needle
• Scissors
• Google eyes
• Glue gun

Cut out all of the felt you’ll need for the pencil topper you’ve chosen. This step by step is for the green apple, but the steps are pretty similar for each topper. But, you can see the step by step instructions for each pencil topper in our YouTube video, linked above.

Place the two apple shapes together and sew around the outer edge. A blanket stitch is perfect this, but a simple straight stitch works too! Make sure to leave a gap the size of a pencil in the middle of the apple on both the top and bottom.

Use a glue gun to attach the apples accessories,

eyes,

stem and then leaf. The stem and leaf will be glued to the inside of the apple – in the gap where the pencil will go.

Give the little guy a smile with the marker and you’re done!

We hope you and any little ones you make these for love them as much as we do! For more Back to School fun, check out our Teacher’s Pet Back to School Cocktail, Easy Felt Pencil Cases (Made by Kids for Kids) and our Desk Top Organizer – a Dollar Store Craft.

What do I need to make an Easy Desk Top Organizer?

• Wooden tray
• Wrapping paper
• Variety of cardboard boxes and paper rolls
• Spray glue
• Spray paint (or acrylic)
• Scissors

How do I make an Easy Teacher’s Desk Top Organizer?

• Paint the wooden tray.
• Arrange the boxes in the tray to give you an idea of where they will be.
• Adhere wrapping paper to the cardboard boxes and rolls using the spray on glue.
• Place in the wooden tray!

How to – Photo Tutorial

Before covering the boxes and painting the tray, do a mock up of how you want them to look and fit. Remember to have taller boxes near the back so you can see smaller items in the front!

Paint the wooden tray, this will work as the base of the organizer. We used spray paint, but acrylic paint works well too. Especially if you have little ones helping out. Set the base aside to dry.

While the base is drying, prepare the cardboard boxes and rolls. Measure and cut the wrapping paper to size. Then, spray the cardboard box with glue spray. Adhere the paper to the boxes, inside and out. As well as the outside of the rolls.

Once the tray has dried completely and the boxes are covered you can arrange them in the tray.
