Colored Pencil Vase Turned on the Lathe DIY

Boiler of colored pencils with your own hands.

I like office supplies. This vase with colored pencils is a great DIY project from start to finish. My husband and I worked together on this interesting craft. Make your own colorful body with resin և wood lathe. This fun conversation will be discussed around the coffee table.

This vase is perfect for selling school supplies. Or:


Colored pencils work best. I was invited to a high school training course, but I needed some materials. The list includes high quality colored pencils. The day before, buying these colored pencils on the Internet was much more difficult and expensive.

It was a financial problem for my mom, but she still gave me a box of 24. Each cost more than a dollar. But those were the biggest crayons ... և I learned to love art, not art. Haha, I'm a craftsman, but I do not consider myself an artist.


Whether 216 colored pencils were used for this vase, the real star of this project is the shiny resin. Without it, it looks sad and impressive. Let's get started!

Required casting materials.

• EasyCast Pure Epoxy Casting
• Spray against mold
• Colored pencil (many)
• Plastic containers (vinegar bottles)
• Pieces of scrap wood
• stone or weight
• Empty box
• Mixing cups, whisk, disposable gloves և work surface
• Hobby Labna
• packing tape
• I saw the table
• LED / LED tool

Step 1. Pencil

Start by finding the right size container for your lathe. Up to 8 inches in diameter and up to 12 inches high. I found this cleansing vinegar in the dollar store, and the pot was perfect. I cleaned the toilet և the toilet ... then I went to the pencil bowl.


Use a utility knife to cut the top of the bowl.


Put the colored pencils firmly in the bowl. I put 216 colored pencils in the container.


Then use lightweight wrapping tape, wrap it around the container, and use a colored pencil.

Step 2. Mix the resin

Step 3. Pour the resin

Then I put sticks of wood and stone on it so that the colored pencils would not float. Now let the resin harden for a few days.


When the resin hardens, cut it with a small knife and take out the plastic container.

Step 4. LED

Then turn the block on the lathe. Use a lathe cutter to cut the vase և to finish. Work slowly և remove small parts in one step.


It's a long process, but it's better not to rush. As you work, some of the tips of the pencil come out, which is to be expected.


Forms in a vase. We decided to go deeper to show the second layer of colored pencil from the side.


Add the desired decorative lines and curved eggs. It is fun to open the vase to reveal all the layers of colored pencils.


When we were completely satisfied, we cut the bottom edge of the vase with a saw.


And it looks just as good as the rest.


Now the vase is wide և amazing.


The top is really fun with rough colored pencils that fall out from time to time.


And the base is great --- it provides the full range of colored pencils used.


Overhandling can be a little useless. That's why the resin needs finishing.

Step 5. Brilliant finish
