Be the teacher’s pet with this oh-so-cute DIY disco pencil! It may not write, but it will definitely win over a teacher’s heart. Give it as a last-day-of-school gift for the teacher who has everything. I used an old mailing tube, a paper-mache cone, and crumpled tinfoil to create the pencil and then covered it with sticky disco tiles and stained them with my favorite alcohol ink. A genius in my Instagram comments suggested using a Pringles can and filling it with smaller gifts. Love that! Before you get started on this fun craft, head here to check out the full DIY...

Everyone has a shabby old planter or two lying around, right? Well, in this case, I turned a basic planter into an adorable back-to-school themed pencil planter in just a few steps! It just so happened that my planter was hex-shaped, which added an authentic touch to the pencil design, but this DIY would work just as well with a round planter. Head over here to see the full DIY video! I used a few colors of craft paint and silver foil temporary tattoo paper to get this look. Perfect for any teachers in your life!
