These are so cute! I used to decoupage all the time, but I haven’t done it in a while. I have several teacher friends who would love a set of these as a fun back to school happy!
STOP! Remember teachers have to buy their own pencil sharpeners if the issued one gets broken! These paper covered pencils reall do a number on electric sharpeners! First hand experience! The paper gums up the blades in the sharpener. I tried putting a high quality old fashioned hand held sharpener but they don’t do the job. Please don’t send these pencils to school!
Oh no! I had no idea. We’ve been using them with our cheap manuel sharpeners. I’ll add a disclaimer into the post! I don’t want anyone to break their sharpener. Thanks for the info.

Thanks megan! I think I might save these for teacher gifts. My son and I enjoyed making them. 🙂
