DIY Colored Pencil Lanyard

Do you keep refilling your kid's colored pencil as it keeps gone missing one by one? I have this problem too... Jelly often bring back colored pencils which are missing 1 or 2 pencils or she mistook some one else's to replace her missing pencils... That's why I saw this idea online and thought it can actually to help solve my problem, that is to create a lanyard to make sure all colored pencils are being together! It only have 2 outcome from this DIY, which is either the whole colored pencils gone missing or they are not! LOL!

In this simple tutorial, I only focus on 12pcs colored pencils as it is easier to manage. I tried letting Jelly to use it for 2 years (during kindy & school) and apparently it is still haven't gone missing! if the colored pencils becomes too short, just trim the ribbons & stick on a new batch of colored pencils! The ribbons can be recycled for 2 or 3 times before need to replace a new one...
