Today I will be sharing this Colored Pencils project. I was a practicing Landscape Architect for 8 years and have a soft spot in my heart for all natural materials, so when I spotted these twig colored pencils I fell in love.
However, I wanted to add just a little extra something to them! And if you are liking these pencils, you will definitely enjoy my Gold Dipped Pencils.
What supplies are needed for Twig Colored Pencils?
Twig Pencil set
Acrylic Paint in shades of blue and green
White Paint
Gold Leafing Paint
Washi Tape or Painter’s Tape
Paint Brush
How do you add color to twig pencils?
The first step is adding either washi tape or painter’s tape to the twigs for where you want the main color to end.
Using your acrylic paint and a paint brush, give your twig pencil a few coats of color.
After the paint has fully dried, add another layer of washi tape. This will be where the white painted tip goes.
Once the paint has all dried, remove the tape. And now it is time to use those bad boys!
I love how these fun colored pencils turned out.
And the best part is you can paint them to match any color palette or decor that you have!
How fun is it that the small white tip gives the impression of an eraser.
