The left hand pencil in the photograph is made using Cernit Nature's Colours and applying rosebuds. The others are stamped, caned and marbled. Apply a disk of clay to the end to stop the lead from pushing out when the pencil is sharpened. Step 3 Bake the pencil for about 30 minutes or longer to be sure it is as strong as possible. When it is cool, grasp the pencil near to the sharp end and carefully sharpen it.
Marbled pencils are even more fun as the sharpened end has lovely unpredictable swirls.
