How to make decorative pencils. This is a great family friendly craft.

As most of you know, we LOVE crafting as a family.. even my husband joins in sometimes. We can spend an entire day just crafting and making a mess (a fun mess of course).

Crafting is fun, but even more fun when you can do it an entire day and not worry about supper. Lucky for me, I have a slow cooker and Club House Slow Cookers Seasoning Mixes that I can use to make meal time super easy.

Sunday morning when my daughters woke up, they asked if we could have a crafting day. We had spent Saturday running around, so I gladly said yes. I liked the idea of having a quiet day at home.

I took out my slow cooker, Club House Slow Cookers Seasoning Mix – Beef Dip, an onion and some beef. Placed them all in my slow cooker and voilà supper was prepared. EASY!

Look at this Family Friendly Craft we made:

Yes, we made super cute decorative pencils! Such an EASY craft and we had so much fun making them.

My daughters and I pulled out everything we might want to use to decorate the pencils and got crafting.

My husband even made some pencils too! He said it looked like fun and wanted to join in. The funny part is that the blinged out pencil is the one he made and also my daughters’ favorite pencil. Hehe
