Directions for the Pencil Vase
Step 1
Put a rubber band around the container you will be using for the pencil vase.
Step 2
Take pencils and put them between the container and the rubber band.
Step 3
Tie a ribbon around the pencils to hide the rubber band.
TIP: If your pencils aren’t stable and won’t stand straight, put a small dab of hot glue on three or four pencils and glue them to the container. That will keep the other pencils standing straight!
That’s it!
Have fun with it! I’d LOVE to see what you make! Be sure to share it over on my Craft Klatch Facebook Group! It’s Free! ❤️
