This was my pinspiration. It was posted on a forum from Two Peas in a Bucket. I've seen the crayon monograms floating around the blog world, and I thought this was a neat take on it. I've already made the crayon wreath and the melted crayon art, so this was a nice change.
This craft was very inexpensive to make. I got 10 pks of pencils from Staples for 25 cents each. I used about 25 pencils for this craft. I bought the picture frame (shadow box frame) from the Dollar Store. I glued some scrapbook paper to the back of the frame. Then I printed out a template of the letter R on the computer. I used this template to measure where I needed to cut the pencils. I cut the pencils with a scroll saw (see - I told you before - I like using power tools). When everything was cut, I glue gunned the pencils on. I did almost fry my pencil sharpener (which would have made this an expensive craft), but it started working again after I gave it a rest. I think this will look great on the top of my filing cabinet.
Happy Sunday!
