How to Draw a Rolling Pin
Draw a rolling pin in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the barrel.
Step 1: The barrel
Across the middle draw a long fat barrel lying on its side, like a big pill, with round ends.
Tip Leave room at each end for the handles.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
On the barrel draw 2 big round eyes, a finger apart. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile, eye to eye, and a little oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: End rings
Near each end draw a curved line from the barrel's top edge down to its bottom edge, bowing outward.
Step 5: 2 handles
From the middle of each end draw a short thin handle sticking straight out, with a round end.
Step 6: Round knobs
Over each handle end draw a round ball, a bit fatter than the handle. Rub out the line inside.
Step 7: Table line
Draw a table line under the barrel, starting past the left knob and stopping past the right knob.
Tip Lift your pencil where the table would cross the barrel.
Step 8: Flour piles
Start on the table under each handle, draw a small bumpy pile of flour and stop back on the line.
Step 9: Tan handles, pink cheeks
Colour the handles and the knobs tan, and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Wood barrel
Colour the barrel wood brown, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your rolling pin is ready!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a rolling pin, drawn by you.
