Macaroni Pencil Pot

Macaroni Pencil Pot

Posted 2013-02-27 by Krista Jewettfollow

This is a great craft to create for a parent, or for someone special in your life, who can place it on their desk at home or at the office. I made one for Father's Day as a child.

Time: 15-20 minutes
Age: Under 5's
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Tin can (with a pull tab as opposed to one that you open with a can opener, so that you do not have rough or sharp edges)
  • Paint in various colours
  • Paint palate or lid
  • Paint brush(s)
  • Craft glue
  • Macaroni or any shaped pasta
  • Sparkles


  • Method
  • Take the label off your empty tin can and wash it out
  • Paint the outside (and inside if you wish) of your can, using either one colour or your mixture of colours.


  • Put some macaroni on your paint palate and squeeze some paint onto them (repeat for more than one colour).


  • Mix the macaroni around with the brush or your finger.
  • After paint has dried on your can, dot some craft glue all over it (it will dry clear).
  • Stick the macaroni to the can.


  • Sprinkle sparkles all over the can, it will stick to the glue.
  • Let dry.
