Wooden Hedgehog Pencil Holder {Handmade Gift}
This wooden hedgehog pencil holder is a great handmade gift that you can make yourself. This month Lowe’s challenged me to make a handmade gift. I think all my little nieces are going to love these holders for their colored pencils. If you are looking for more handmade gifts be sure to check out my handmade gift guide.
Hedgehog Template
Download the template and cut the hedgehog out of a 2″ X 6″ board with a band saw. Drill 12 holes across the top. Make sure the size of drill bit fits the pencils or crayons. We practiced a few times on a piece of scrap wood. For our pencils we ended up using a 19/64 drill bit.
Sand the entire hedgehog. Mask off body of hedgehog with painter’s tape and seal nose area with clear varnish. Allow to completely dry. Mask off nose area and lightly stain hedgehog, making sure to quickly wipe away excess. Wipe away from nose area to keep stain from running into nose area. Add a black dot for the eye. Put in a dozen colored pencils (or crayons) and you have a useful handmade gift!
