I made this with a three point stylus. A regular pencil, a blue pencil and a soft, 6B charcoal pencil, each hot glued to a penny and all three pennies hot glued together to another, joining penny. Below is the first result. I call it "Chicken Pot Pie." I'm going to do it again with another stylus ranging from a 6B down to a lighter pencil to get a more pronounced semblance of shading. I'm going to mail one to a friend in FLorida next. Thanks for the inspiration!

I was reading step 7 and was about to suggest doing something like you did in step 9. What about hot glue? Its probably easier than tape, and rigid.

Watch out, you don't want pieces of crayon/colored pencil in your wash, it will ruin your clothes....My brother was washing his backpack in our washer machine, and a small piece of crayon ruined all the clothes that were with it.

I'm not sure of the practicality of this but hey who am I to judge.
