DIY Halloween Pencil Toppers

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to make some silly DIY Halloween pencil toppers using our free monster pattern printable.

Crafting Some Halloween Pencil Toppers

In addition to being a fun Halloween craft idea, these pencil toppers make for a great non-candy Halloween treat. Whether it’s for kiddos coming to the door or for kids to give their classmates at school, these pencil toppers will do the “trick”.

It’s true, we do enjoy our felt crafts here on the blog and pencil toppers are a perfect way to use up leftover pieces of felt scraps. Since the pattern pieces are prettty small, you only need a little bit of felt to complete the craft. Other similar crafts we’ve made are these Among Us-themed pencil toppers and these adorable animal pencil toppers. Whatever gets the kids motivated to pick up a pencil over the devices;).
