Watch This Artist Turn Broken Pencils Into a Colorful Stationery Pot

From Country Living

Pencils usually seem to be useless as soon as they have withered down into tiny, broken stubs, but once you see this amazing DIY project, you'll never look at them the same way again.

In this brilliant tutorial, Nick Zammit, the woodturning expert behind "NZ WoodTurning" shows you how he created this spectacular stationery pot with a collection of small, used colored pencils. In the video, you'll see how he turns the pencils into a solid mass to work with, and then how he uses his remarkable skills to shape the object into a wooden pencil cup.

Who knew a bunch of leftover pencils could look so beautiful? Watch the video and see the craft for yourself!
