Pack of 3 rainbow pencils – the most uplifting pencils ever designed! Fellow UK based designer maker Duncan Shotton designed these amazing pencils. Initially launching them on kick starter the project was backed by 2,864 people! And you can see why, they must be the most uplifting pencils ever designed. I challenge you not to be in a good mood after using one. Here's what Duncan has to say about them: Made from recycled paper, rainbow pencils let you create beautiful paper rainbows when you sharpen them. Rainbow Pencils function like regular wooden pencils, and are the same size and weight, but they’re not made from wood, they’re made from lots of layers of recycled waste paper. So the shavings / sharpenings look like rainbows. Making RainbowsYou don’t need a special sharpener to make rainbows, but a sharp, good quality one will help you make better ones. To improve your rainbows, you can try sharpening from the other end of the pencil, using a better sharpener or applying a more constant force when turning the pencil. Trying to make the perfect rainbow is all part of the fun! FinishEach pencil is printed with logo on one side and “rainbow pencil by duncan shotton” on the other. The outer (black, white or light grey) layers of each pencil are also made from recycled paper. The finish of each pencil is therefore never ‘perfect’ and will contain marks and imperfections, as is standard of recycled paper. GraphiteStandard HB (#2 US) Show more
