Summer is officially here! The kiddos are out of school and I bet some of you are searching high and low for some fun summer crafts to keep the kiddos busy. Well, today is your lucky day {hee-hee}. These feather topped pencil crafts are super easy and can be used all summer long and into the school year too!
Cute pencils mean more writing and drawing, right? Well, maybe not — but we can sure hope so! Let’s grab a few supplies so we can get started.
Supplies needed to make your own feather topped pencil crafts:
These pencil crafts are so easy to make — only three steps! Now that we have everything we need, let’s get started.
Step One: Select Feathers. I started with a couple of large and a couple of smaller feathers.
Step Two: Attach the feathers to pencil using floral tape.
As you’re wrapping the floral tape, add additional feathers as desired. I loved the bright colors and just had to add more as I went along. The black peacock feathers added a little extra bling too.
Once you’ve completed attaching your feathers to the pencil, we’re ready to move on to the last step.
Step Three: Wrap ribbon around the floral tape and attach with glue (optional). Tie a bow for the finishing touch. Tada! Your pencil crafts are done.
Colorful, fun — and functional! Score. Happy Crafting, sweet friends!

This is such a cute project- I used to LOVE feather pens (Clueless!!) and had a HOARD of them!
Great craft for kids but could also be a good one for seniors in a retirement home. I’d think they’d love having the prettily decorated pencils or pens to use for their letter writing, inexpensive for anybody to use and make, while having fun. Happy summer days Great project.
Great idea, JaneEllen! I’m sure this would be a fun craft for kids of all ages. Thanks so much for stopping by. HUGS!
