3 Things You Can Make From Pencil Sharpeners & Pegs

Some time ago, I bought a packet of 8 pencil sharpeners. I could have bought a packet of 2 or 4, but the price was almost the same. (8 x Sharpeners for €0.75/$0.82)

I was ready to pay a few cents more for a packet of 8 as pencil sharpeners have blades that can be used for various DIY projects.

If you have extra pencil sharpeners lying around, perhaps you can use them to make another tool.

I also used wooden pegs/clothespins for this project.

I took off the blade and attached it to a wooden peg/clothespin.

Now your peg can strip wires/cables.

I removed the blade and took apart the peg.

I glued the blade between the wooden pieces.

We have made a small stencil knife.

After removing the blade and taking apart the peg, I made a cut in the wooden piece.

Then I applied some glue to the blade and put it in the cut.

We have made a small scraper.
