Back To School Pencil

It is that time of the year again...back to school!  My oldest starts first grade on Wednesday.  Summer is already gone, which is hard to believe.  Anyway, I wanted to share this project with you.  I made the 3D pencil from SVGCuts' School Days SVG Kit.  Isn't is so adorable?
The best part is that it opens up.  I filled it with chocolate candy bars for the teacher to have a secret stash :)
All the patterned paper that I used was from DCWV's the Grade School Stack.  I embossed the silver strip around the eraser to make it look more like a real pencil and I inked all of the folds of the pencil with brown chalk.
