Pencil Vase Bouquet

Our Teacher Appreciation 

is actually this week in Orlando...

In Goosie Girl's school

the first day is flowers...

Each child is to bring in a flower

to make a bouquet for the teacher...

Well last night, after getting home from the beach,

I'm combing the house for unsharpened pencils...

Because I can't be a typical Mom and just send in a flower...

I have to create a pencil vase that I remember seeing...

If you have all the pencils handy...

it is extremely easy to make...

(Simply glue the pencils around the vase

with a hot glue gun)

Of course I didn't have a thin, small vase 

so I improvised with a favorite sweet tea bottle...

It turned out identical to this...

The only difference...Goosie Girl picked out pinky, red flowers

and we used a black/white striped ribbon...

I definitely will be making this again!

It really turned out adorable!
