-
For a dangly decoration, tape the center of a 12-inch piece of embroidery floss to a pencil just below the eraser. Wind the ends of the floss around the pencil several times, then tie them together.
-
String beads, charms or bells onto the trailing ends. Tie overhand knots below the last beads to keep them from slipping off.
-
To make a fringed pencil top, cut out a 6-inch-wide felt circle with a 1/4-inch slit in the center and slip it over the eraser. Then, make a series of 2 1/2-inch cuts inward from the edge of the circle.
-
For a stand-up fringe, wrap and tape colored paper around the pencil end and snip downward through all the layers.
