How Do You Make A Balanced Spinning Pencil (Pen Spinning)?
• Pull off the end. First take a unused pencil (if it is round it makes using it easier but harder to make) and take off the eraser and metal thing at the end (make sure the eraser has not been used) in one piece and set it aside. • Carve the end. What it should look like after carving. Take a second pencil (unsharpened) that is the same type as the last one and take a knife and carve off the corners at the end you would sharpen. Be careful not to cut to deep and only carve the first 1/3 of an inch. If your pencil doesn’t have corners you might not need to shave the sides. • Now that the pencil is carved try to fit that other pencil eraser on the end it should be a snug fit and if its to loose it wont stay on. Glue the outside and inside. Now take off both off the erasers and put some super glue in the metal circle so that it sticks the pencil to eraser. Now you have a perfect spinning pencil. Finished!
