Back to school pencil vase

Good morning friends... oh my, how my life has changed in the last 2 weeks.  My mornings are spent teaching 3 year old preschool.  They are creative, adorable little mess makers!  I'm just so grateful for this new opportunity.

Today's project is a great one for back to school week.  It's fun for teacher appreciation too.  All you need is a container and a bunch of pencils.  Almost any kind of container would work for this.  Start hot gluing your pencils around the cylinder.

It took under 10 minutes to finish.  I decided to add a big red bow...

p.s.  It's my parent's anniversary today.  I have the best parents a person could ask for!  We love you lots!
