In this tutorial, we will teach you how to easily make colored dust with pencils, which you can use for various arts and crafts projects.

Materials Needed:

  • Old colored pencils
  • Sandpaper

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Gather your colored pencils

Start by collecting all the colored pencils you wish to use. They can be old, broken, or simply ones you no longer need.

Step 2: Remove the pencil tips

Using a pair of scissors, carefully remove the tips of each colored pencil. Make sure to discard any wooden remnants and only keep the colored lead.

Step 3: Prepare the sandpaper

Cut a small piece of sandpaper that fits inside one of your containers. This will be where you rub the colored pencil tips to create the dust.

Step 4: Rub the pencil tips

Hold a colored pencil tip against the sandpaper and gently rub it back and forth, applying slight pressure. Continue rubbing until you see colored dust forming on the sandpaper.

Step 5: Collect the colored dust

Using the edge of a piece of paper or a small funnel, carefully guide the colored dust into one of your containers. Repeat the process with different colored pencils, separating the dust by color if desired.

Step 6: Store and label

Once you have collected all the colored dust, store it in small containers or jars. You can label them with the corresponding colors for easy identification.
