First, let me explain that Charlotte is on the school archery team.

Let’s just say she wont be in the Olympics for it, but I was still pondering today how cute it would be for her to give out “arrows”. I originally wanted to get real feathers, cut them up and clue them on and then I was like…nah. I like to do crafts with supplies that the average parent has in their home, so I went with construction paper method.

Supplies:

  • Construction Paper
  • Sharpened Pencils
  • Scissors

step1 Start by cutting out some “feathers”.  It’s easier to show you than tell you. The biggest tip I can give you here is to snip slowly…I had a lot of uneven arrows.

step2 Now just like the Valentines Day Heart Toppers, you need to snip spots for the pencil to go into. Fold in half and snip. The only time I had issues w/ this was when I used the sparkly card stock. Its actually hard to fold without getting a crease, so if you have another way to slit that line, use it.

Slide your pencil in. I prefer the pointy side to show so put your pencil in from the bottom.

  1. So cute Trisha! I may make some for my pens & pencils at work!! Thanks for sharing at the party this week! I am featuring it on my Facebook page today and have pinned it to the You’re Gonna Love It Tuesday board on Pinterest 🙂

  8. Hi, I’m stopping by from Create It Thursday to say hi. I adore your valentine pencil toppers. They are so cute. I want to give it a go. For now, I’m pinning. Best wishes, Darlene

  15. Cute.
    To cut the slits without creasing or folding the paper you could try scrap cardboard under the paper and use a utility knife to cut the slits.

  16. Great idea! Great theme for your daughter. Those bows they have for the kids are pretty neat.

  20. Hobby Lobby is my go to store for everything I do at my son’s school. I’m not crafty, but I think I can pull this off. 🙂

  22. You know what? This is Zoe’s Valentine’s this year! I’ll add names to the arrows, so easy and useful because all kids need pencils!
