You will need a pencil of your choice, a saw, a stud earring base, a backing, glue and a drill.
Saw your pencil in half.
Use a drill head that is smaller than the pencil, approximately the size of your earring back.
Use a small amount of glue to hold the earring back inside your pencil, but be careful not to glue up the hole!
Glue the stud to the other half of the pencil.
And voila! You're done.
Easy as pie and looks totally awesome!
