i want something cute like animal toppers or some craft with pencils. I would prefer links or instructions, but pictures or ideas are okay too.

1. You can make pencil toppers with several types of polymer clay, and can also "cover" the barrels of some of them with polymer clay. These lessons use Sculpey's "Eraser Clay" but there's no reason that regular polymer clays** couldn't be used instead: http://www.sculpey.com/Projects/projects_EC%20Creatures.htm http://www.sculpey.com/teacherslounge.htm **be aware though that 3 polymer clays will be easily breakable after baking anywhere they're *thin* or sticking out.... Sculpey III, SuperSculpey--flesh, and original boxed Sculpey If you're interested in "covering" pencils or certain types of ballpoint pens with polymer clay, or even making your own pencils with the clay around a pencil lead, check out this page at my site too: http://glassattic.com/polymer/pens.htm (...when making pencils, you might have to "sharpen" them by using the larger hole of a sharpener or by "whittling") You can also make pencil holders with polymer clay (freestanding ones or by "covering" a tin can or drinking glass, etc.)... for info on doing that, check out this page under the categories for coveirng Metal or Glass: http://glassattic.com/polymer/covering.htm HTH, Diane B.
