Thanks everyone! And thanks to Lauralooloo for this fantastic project. Hold tight, Heidi is picking a winner shortly.

The next class is at 4pm EST. Authentique will be here with us teaching this class, yeah! plan on attending

I chose to put my pencil bouquet into a glass jar, but a flower pot would be completely adorable too! Put buttons, beans, or a styrofoam block in the bottom to keep the pencils in place. After you decide on a container, simply tie a ribbon around it, and add a quick custom tag. I simply stamped a se...

Use a hot glue gun to attach the flowers to the side of the pencil, near the top. Tie a green ribbon bow around the pencil for the leaves.

Next, layer the three large squashed circles over top of each other to create a flower shape. These layers can be stapled in the center. Then layer the three smaller ones together. Use a piercing tool to poke a hole through the center of the smaller flower layer, and attach a brad. If you'd like to ...

Along the seam of your circles, stick a glue dot, or small length of two-sided tape, and squish your circle together gently.

Roll each strip into a circle and adhere with liquid glue or tape adhesive.

I found that it helps to roll the smaller strips between your fingers to slightly curl them. This will help them to bend, rather than fold, during the next two steps.

I really hope you're all having a great time! And if you're in this class, let us know! Heidi will be picking a random winner ...

Nest step: trim three strips of a different paper 6x.5 inch.

do you have your paper handy? Here we go. First, trim three strips of paper 9x1 inch.

This flowery bouquet, with pencil stems, is a fun teacher gift, but it's perfect for anyone whose desk needs brightening up! (And you're less likely to lose your pencils if they have cheery flowers on the ends of them!) You can customize your flowers with any 12x12 patterned paper you have on hand....

Thanks for joining me! those are some great ideas. I can't wait to see all the great flowers that you will be making

Yes! these really ARE pencils

This is what we'll be making in this class. I want to thank Lauralooloo for this incredible project

How are your little flowers coming along? Now try this same easy concept with other papers. Below are a few flowers that I created from pages of an old book. If you want a vintage/rustic look, dilute some Tim Holtz reinker ink with a little water, then brush lightly over the round punched pieces, le...

Here are a few more pics of the flowers. What you can't see on the ball is the ribbon loop to hang it by. It's easy to hot glue that right into the styrofoam ball. http://www.acherryontop.com/i/gallery2/233897-490.jpg http://www.acherryontop.com/i/gallery2/233899-490.jpg http://www.acherryontop.com/...

STEP 6:
From here you can do just about anything you want. I spritzed some of my flowers with some Maya Mist, let it dry, then hot glued them to a 4" styrofoam ball. I used about 20 little flowers on my flower ball.
