Pencil Craft To Make This Back To School Season
It’s back-to-school season in our home and I recently came up with this AWESOME Stained Glass Pencil kid craft idea. I’ve even included a FREE printable in this post to get you started on your crafty adventure on this one.
Perfect for one child at home to recreate or the entire class {teachers, I’m pointing my fingers at you for the first day of school!} Just keep on scrolling, to find the full tutorial and of course – free template. Just print our freebie pencil file and create your masterpiece!
Happy crafting, my friends! Remember – you can easily change up the center of the pencil craft to reflect your style and vision as well. I could easily see someone adding their child’s picture to the center for a fun touch!
