So it's finally time to show off some of my work! Here is a centerpiece I made for an event involving the principals of local schools. I will admit it's not an original idea (I copied it from a picture I saw online), but I did put my own spin on it.
1. I used an empty water bottle to create the vase. Just cut the top off with a scissor, about 1/3 down.
2. Next you'll need a rubber band and a bunch of pencils (I used about 30 per centerpiece). Place the rubber band around the outside of the water bottle and start to place pencils inside, between the rubber band and the water bottle. The pencils tend to go sideways..I liked the effect so I left them that way. I didn't find a need to glue any of them down. (in the original idea all the pencils went straight up)
3. Take a wide ribbon and tie it around the water bottle on top of the rubber band. Tie a big bow.
4. Fill water bottle with water and place the flowers inside. Voila! you have a gift any teacher will love, especially since they can use the pencils after the flowers die.
