Teacher Pencil Vase

I came across this cute craft one afternoon while on the internet. Since I don’t have a classroom of my own (sadly), I thought I could still make it for my middle sister since she teaches in an elementary school. I thought a Pencil Vase that held matching colored flowers would be so cute (now that I think about it, I could have used color pencils to brighten it up a little especially for Lauren’s 3rd classroom)!

What you need:

1. Container (I used a can)
2. Number 2 Pencils (or colored pencils now that come to think of it)
3. Rubber band
4. Glue Stick
5. Glue Gun
6. Ribbon
7. Flowers

Instructions:

1. Wrap a few pencils around a can and secure with a rubber band.
2. Continue to insert more pencils all around the can inside the rubber band.
3. From the inside, I used my glue gun to help the pencils stick together.
4. Once it was dry, I removed the rubber band. Cut some ribbon and tie around the vase.
5. Lastly, I put fake flowers in the can.
6. Enjoy an inexpensive craft to look cute for any teacher you may know!
