My kids and I loved crafting these cute and spooky Halloween pencil toppers for our “crafternoon”! We love how our creations turned out. The kids chose to make a jack-o-lantern, spider, one-eyed monster, bat and witch. They all look so cute on the fun patterned pencils. Excited to share the details of how we made these adorable pencil toppers for Halloween.
