Class Door Decoration for Back to School

Step 1

Start by covering your work surface well. The paint easily bleeds through burlap and will ruin furniture.

Step 2

On the burlap, draw a pencil shape and outline the eraser, lead, and “wood” part of the pencil. The pencil can be any size you choose.

Step 3

Cut the shape from the burlap.

Step 4

Paint the eraser, silver band, and “lead” parts of the pencil in the respective colors. I love a pouncer brush for really getting into the burlap fibers.

Step 5

After the paint has dried, use a small paint brush to outline the different pieces in white. Allow to dry.

Step 6

Across the body of the pencil, add white polka dots with a pouncer brush.

Step 7

Now, add a monogram or message to the body of the pencil. Freehand the words using a pencil, then trace with a small paint brush dipped in black paint.

Step 8

For hanging, add a small piece of wood to the back at the top of the eraser portion with tacky glue. After that has dried, add twine to the wood strip for hanging.
