How to Make Scented Pencils

Assemble the needed materials from the "Things You'll Need" section below.

Cut a piece of the newspaper about as wide as the painted part of the pencil is long.

Wrap the newspaper around the pencil and use tape to keep the paper in place if needed.

Mix the lemon/lime/orange juice in the water.

Make sure that the water has a strong scent of whichever juice you're using.

Soak the pencil in the juice.

Let the pencil sit for about two to three hours.

Put the pencil (still wrapped around with newspaper) on a plastic plate or other surface.

Put the plate with the pencil on it in the sun.

Let sit for one to three hours.

Take off the newspaper. You now have an awesome scented pencil. Make as many as you need and present them as a package if you're preparing them as gifts.

Finished.
