MACARONI CRAFTS: THE PERFECT GIFT FOR A NEW TEACHER

Give Your Child's Favorite Teacher a Pencil Vase!

By Jennifer Hill August 24, 2014
Send your kids off to the start of a new school year with a special gift to let teachers and office staff know how much you appreciate them!

What you need:
  • Tall vase or a recycled jar about 7 ½ inches tall (I found my vase at Dollar Tree!)
  • 40-50 pencils
  • Hot glue
  • Hot glue gun
  • Ribbon
  • Flowers
What you do:
STEP ONE: Using hot glue, attach pencils to vase.  
(I liked the look with the eraser side down better, but feel free to experiment with pencil placement.)

STEP TWO: Tie a ribbon around the pencils.

STEP THREE: Add fresh flowers and water.

Share with your favorite teacher!
