Tulip Pencil Toppers

These DIY paper tulip pencil toppers are a cute little gift for teachers or moms!It’s Teacher Appreciation Week! The staff at our school have been working hard to make sure our teachers will feel appreciated by sending out a list of fun things for us to do for our teachers each day of the week. Day 1 was to bring in our teacher’s favorite flowers. Thanks to a helpful questionnaire that they filled out and send home, we know all the right things to send in!

Both of my sons’ teachers love tulips. It’s getting a little late to find them around here so I came up with these fun tulip pencil toppers instead. I’ve never met a teacher who doesn’t love a good office supply. And these tulips will last much longer than the real thing!

Cut strips of paper into 2″x6″ strips. Cut those strips every ~1 1/2″. You will need 5 pieces per tulip.

Wrap one of the rectangles of paper around the end of a pencil, gluing in place. Trim the top to look more like the center of a flower

Cut the remaining four rectangles into petal shapes and apply wet adhesive along the curve of the base of each petal.

Wrap 2 petals around the top of the pencil on opposite sides. Tilt the tops out slightly.

Wrap the remaining 2 petals adjacent to the other petals, again with the tops out slightly.

Wrap the base with a piece of washi tape to keep them in place while the glue dries. Wrap the washi tape with twine and glue down.

Aren’t they fun??

I found this cute Mason jar with a flower frog lid at Hobby Lobby. I added a few decorative rocks to the bottom then inserted the pencils.

These would also make a fun gift for Mother’s Day. The kiddos can definitely help out!
