How to make a giant pencil and adorable pencil shavings
I was looking around for some “artsy” ideas and I spotted a party hat that looked like the tip of a pencil. I then found a tutorial to make a whole giant pencil. These are super easy and looks like would be fun for all sorts of decorating and play. Pop on over to the blog A Girl and a Glue gun to see how to make giant pencil shavings and a giant pencil.

Nifty, and pretty! An idea to keep in mind for the future, definately!

The curly lightbulbs have mercury in them, so I wouldn’t think it is a wise idea to try to use them for crafting!

The new energy efficient bulbs have higher levels of mercury in them (which is why they have to be recycled in a special way instead of just thrown in the garbage). Please tell people to make sure that their new bulbs are safe before cutting into them!
