Incorporate your project with other recycled materials – like sequins from old clothes (or other materials).

How to Make Flowers with Art Pencils

What you need:

different colored pencils (we recommend using elastic pencils for this project because their crumbs don’t crack easily)
Grinder
colored pencils (green, yellow and blue)
glue
black outline
small pieces of cardboard
beads – optional

Step by step instructions

Take your pencil sharpener and start sharpening your round pencil.

You can make several circles for one flower. Do it gently and slowly.

Make some flowers using different colored pencils.

Apply a small amount of glue to the bottom of the cardboard.

Attach the beads and wait for the glue to set. You can use a variety of materials or just paint the grass.

Apply some glue to two flowers and place them on the paper.

Wait for the glue to dry.

Use a black pen, felt-tip pen, or pencil to draw the stem and leaves.
