Wooden Crayon Holder {Ispired by Pinterest}

When I saw this on pinterest, I HAD to make one (or two) for my classroom.

Now I have gone crazy and decided all the teachers need some. 

Isn't it cute!

Here is the one that inspired it on pinterest:

I am going to do one for colored pencils too, but I need to get the next smaller bit for the drill for that one.

Materials:

Wood stump (or any piece of wood)

Sander

Drill and bit

I was lucky and found these already cut at the preschool, it made this whole project loads easier. You could pretty much use any piece of wood.

Since the bark was pretty loose, I just took it off all the way around, I didn't throw it away though, that is a great art material!!

Then I just drilled a bunch of holes all over. I drew the spiral as a guide but you don't really need it. 

Make sure you use a bit that looks like this one to make your life much easier, I tried a few others before the hubs suggested this one and it makes a HUGE difference! For the crayons I used a 7/16 bit and I think that for colored pencils a 3/8 will work.

After I had drilled all the holes, I sanded down the whole thing. 

And then add your crayons!!

 I can't get over how cute these things are!!!
