Creating the Box
(1) Paint inside of box with Pink Sherbet Paint Dabber.

(2) Punch various circle sizes of patterned paper.  On larger circles, stamp letters with Archival Jet Black ink to spell the word “pencils”.

(3) Cut various lengths of one quarter inch strips of solid cardstock.

(4) Follow instructions for Tera Leigh’s Faux Mosaic Kit; when applying the grout, do not apply to the lip of the box, or it will not close properly

(5) When gluing down the paper, use the punched circles to cover the lid of pencil box and the one quarter inch strips to cover bottom section of the box.

(6) Work in sections when applying the Glaze down, as you don’t want gravity to pull the glaze down!

Decorating the Pencils:
(7) Cut random shapes from various patterned papers. 

(8) Follow instructions for Tera Leigh’s Faux Mosaic Kit. Note: apply Faux Grout to entire pencil and balance the ends of the pencils on a box to dry.

(9) Cut three quarter inch strips of patterned paper and wrap around metal part of pencil.  Use the glue from the kit to adhere it and use the glaze to cover it.

(10) When applying the Glaze, apply to one side at a time, allowing sufficient time to dry before turning the pencil. The Non-Stick Craft Sheet makes the perfect work surface for this!
