For this project, all you'll need are a 7.5-inch cylindrical vase, some unsharpened pencils, a hot glue gun, some ribbon, and your favorite flowers.
Simply use your hot-glue gun to make a vertical glue stripe from the top of the vase to the base.
Then, secure one of your unsharpened pencils to the vase with the eraser side toward the top.
Continue this process, working your way all the way around the outside of the vase.
Until the glue has dried, be careful not to move the pencils too much, as they can potentially slide off.
Pay attention to the tops of the erasers to ensure that they are all even and level.
Next, cut a strand of your favorite colored ribbon.
Once the glue has dried and the pencils are secured, tie a simple bow around the outside.
Now your vase is ready for use! Pour in some tap water…
…and place your favorite flowers into your new pencil vase!
In no time at all, you'll have an adorable pencil vase — perfect to keep around the house for back-to-school season or as a gift for any teachers in your life.
