Pencil Bouquet


This is a picture of 1 of 4 pencil bouquets I made for teachers/secretary's at the kids school
I purchased the container (would be super cute as a candy dish once all the pencils are gone) at Hobby Lobby - it was 1/2 off of 3.99 so very reasonable -- the pencils were .97 cents at target and the leaves and berries were bought at hobby lobby as well (the swag was 1/2 off of 9.99 but it had enough leaves for at least 3 pencil bouquets) Oh and I just used floral foam in the container and poked the leaves and pencils into it - had to use a little hot glue here and there but what craft project is complete without that stuff ; ) : D

I had the line from "You've got mail" in my head ("I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address"), so I googled it.
I was wondering what a pencil bouquet might look like - now I know! Kudos!
