For this project I wanted to try if I can bevel engrave the wood by using a gradient. But didn't worked as I think this project is too small. 

So thats what your can see in the XCS File.

If you dont want the bevel Look, delete it and draw lines to score to get the look of the pencil.

1. Color if you want, I used some fine liners to do so
2. Add jump ring through both holes of the pencil and apple
3. Attach by using good glue an earring pin

And thats you you could create a funny earring set for you teachers. I think thats a cute idea as a gift for teachers you know wearing earrings. It's not just laying around, it's useful!
