We love washi tape! As we build up our growing collection, we’re finding more and more ways to use it. Earlier this week, we showed you how to make flower pens wrapped in washi tape, and today we’ve got an even easier DIY: washi tape pencils. You don’t need to break the bank when it comes to trendy back-to-school style. Any basic school supply can be jazzed up with a few pieces of our favorite new accessory.
Supplies: No. 2 Pencils (we got ours from Target for 77 cents!), washi tape in assorted colors, and scissors.
Directions: We wrapped ours two different ways. The first way was by cutting small pieces of tape (about an inch) and wrapping the pencil one piece at a time, horizontally, lining up the design the best we could. The second way was by cutting two or three pieces of tape the length of the pencil and placing them on the pencil from the base of the eraser to the tip. You could also wrap the pencils in a spiral with one long piece of tape.
Whenever you need to sharpen the pencil, just peel back a little tape and go to town! We hope you and your kids have fun making these pencils. Happy back-to-school season!

UPDATE: We made a set of new flower pens for the 2016 school year! Check them out right here!
These flower pens make a great gift for teachers and help pens from disappearing off the desk! They also look great in a little jar or a vase. A sweet little bouquet that doubles as writing utensils? We love it. Here’s how to make your own:
Supplies: Pens with caps (not retractable pens), pliers, hot glue, scissors, fake flowers (options: 1, 2, 3), and washi tape (optional).
Some of the supplies above contain affiliate links. If purchased, I will receive a commission.
Directions:
1. Use the pliers to slowly pinch the end of a pen. The base should wiggle out (or fly across the room if you squeeze the pliers too hard!). Remove the base and discard.
2. Cut the fake flowers, leaving about 1/4 inch of stem on each flower.
3. Add a small amount of hot glue to the base of the open pen and insert a flower.
4. For added flair, wrap the pen in washi tape!
Add them to a jar and give as a gift to your favorite teacher!
A lot of people are heading back to school today so HAPPY FIRST DAY to you!
