Colored Pencil Holder

by

A couple weeks ago, I was lamenting in my Instagram Stories about how cute and ridiculously expensive this wooden colored pencil holder from Amazon is.

Agate Inspired Layered Paper Veneer DIY Jewelry

One of her favorite shapes to cut out is a HEART, and that got me thinking it would be so fun to share a beginner scroll saw tutorial with hearts for Valentine’s Day! The kids loved watching this ...
