Description

A colorful and creative project to brighten up any desk space, perfect for students and teachers.


Materials

  • Colored pencils (at least 12)
  • Floral foam
  • Small vase or container
  • Decorative ribbon (optional)
  • Fresh flowers or faux foliage (optional)
  • Craft scissors
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks (for extra decorations)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Start by cutting a piece of floral foam to fit into your vase. Make sure it is snug so that it doesn’t slide around.
  2. Arrange the Pencils: Begin inserting the colored pencils into the foam at various angles to create a burst of color. Vary the lengths of the pencils if necessary to add dimension.
  3. Add Foliage or Flowers: If you want to integrate some greenery or real flowers, now is the time to place them in the arrangement. They can fill in gaps and provide texture.
  4. Secure with Glue: For added durability, use a hot glue gun to secure the pencils into the foam to prevent them from toppling over.
  5. Finish with a Ribbon: If desired, wrap a decorative ribbon around the vase for a polished look.

Notes

Encourage creativity and personalization with colors and additional decorations.
