This was kind of a quick project I did with my daughter so we just used a regular bulletin board from the craft store and simply used a hot glue gun to fasten the pencils - it has been two years and is still perfectly in tact. There is space near the pencil points to use a longer pin to fasten things to it, you can also stick pins into or between the soft pencils. I thought we would use it as a bulletin board, but I love the texture and look of the pencils as is, so we use it as a piece of art and are collecting more pencils to make another! We used pencils in all conditions, from new to stubby and chewed up, sharp to broken and faced any print on the pencils out so you could read them (from "good job" to insurance companies, fire safety and politicians) - it really tells a fun story! Thanks for your question and let me know if you have any others - good luck!

Thanks!

Congratulations! I loved it. It's really a piece of art.

LOVE!!!!

A-MA-ZING. LOVE IT!!!!
