Love these! Reminds me of this awesome colored pencil necklace tutorial from SCRAP: http://scrappdx.org/news/news/colored-pencil-pendant-photo-tutorial/111/
And I saw another great tutorial over at Sweet Athena: http://sweetathena.blogspot.com/2012/02/guest-post-crafty-mariko.html Technically it's a pen, not a pencil, but it could easily be applied to pencils too!
Great! Thanks for sharing those, Liza!
I especially liked the pencil-shaped pencil pouch! The others are all really pretty, too, though.

At the risk of sounding WAY stupid, can someone tell me how the Oscar bingo game works? What makes a winning card? Is it getting one in each row, no matter whether they line up or not?
HELP! I'm giving an Oscar party in 4 days!!!

Sure! Cross off each square as the item takes place. First person to get five squares in a line wins. Could be a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line. And you should yell "Bingo" when you win. :)
And I've updated the bingo post to include the directions for anybody else who has the same question.
Thanks for including my pencil pouch! I love that rustic pencil holder. Really great roundup of ideas.
I can't wait to make these. Love love love!
Uh-oh, that rustic pencil holder might be the last straw that forces me to learn how to use a drill...
Really nice projects - love the necklace! :-)
Did you watch my Pinterest board?! I just pinned about the same inspiring ideas! I've already bought some pencil leads...
I love that tree stump pencil holder. :)

These are brilliant, I saw the pencil jewelry a little while back and loved it, but with the lack of power tools in my flat perhaps now I can just make myself some beautiful paper pencils and make the jewelry out of them! They would make a lovely personalised gift too. Thanks for sharing these!

Great post, I love all these pencil ideas... and I'm getting another idea about pencils, goody goody!
