Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wrap the sharpened pencils with green paper tape from just above the point to just below the eraser to look like a stem of a flower.
  • Stack two green cupcake liners and fold in half. Using scissors shape folded cupcake liner to look like leaves, with center still attached. See photos above.
  • Place a glue dot between the two liners to hold them together.
  • Take five of the same color cupcake liners and fold them in quarters.  Cut
    cupcake liners into the shape of petals. 
  • Unfold liners and rotate so that the petals are going in different directions, use a glue dots to keep them together.
  • Place a push pin in the center of  the flower and leaves. Push the pin into the end of the eraser.
  • Place a glue dot on top of the push pin and secure a Hershey Kiss to the glue dot.
  • Repeat steps 1-5 for every flower pencil you choose to make.
  • Take a mason jar and fill it with shredded paper and extra Hershey Kisses.
  • Arrange flower pencils to look like a bouquet.
  • Print off a gift tag, attach with twine to the jar and give as a gift.

Notes

  • If you make multiple flower bouquets, write the teachers name in metallic sharpie on the mason jar. Or personalize it by adding their name to the gift tag or somewhere else.
  • Want to jazz up your flowers even more? Put a really light layer of glue on the edge or the petals and sprinkle glitter on it. Allow to dry, shake off the excess, and you’ve got glitter flowers!
  • Find out each teachers favorite candy and use that instead of Hershey kisses if applicable.
