Pencil Cap

I get super irritated when the graphite from my pencils get all over my bag and everything in it. It gets all over my hands and drives me crazy! I was looking at some solutions and found a pencil cap, but I’m too cheap to buy them, so I just made some. They’re super cute, simple, and work like a charm!

Hot glue
Pencil
Paper (I used 12x12 scrapbook paper)
Scissors

Cut all your paper into 3x2 pieces. Since I used 12x12 paper I folded it into sixths and cut, then folded that into fourth and cut again.

This is the hardest part. Very carefully roll the paper around your pencil. Roll it as tightly as possible! (otherwise it won’t work well)

About half a centimeter from the end of the paper, apply a thin strip of hot glue and continue rolling until you reach the end. Hold the end down until it dries then pull it off the end of the pencil.

Add a small dot of hot glue in the inside of the tube. Squeeze it shut and enjoy your pencil cap!
