narrow sequined trim (available in haberdashery departments)
small plastic eyes
Step 1
Remove eraser from the end of the pencil. Squeeze glue into this hole and push the end of the feather into the glue and hold in place or rest for a couple of minutes so that the glue begins to adhere and the feathers remain in position.
Step 2
Attach one end of the sequined trim to the metal tip of the pencil. Wrap the trim around the metal a couple of times to ensure you have secured the trim and the feathers in place. Wind the trim down the length of the pencil securing it in place at intervals with dots of glue, then wind it back up the length of the pencil, securing it in place as before to form a criss-cross effect on the pencil.
Leave about 1cm to 1.5cm of pencil without trim at the base, to allow you to sharpen your pencil.
Step 3
Glue two eyes and sequins on the feathers, just above the top of the pencil, to create a face for your Funky Pencil.
