Come see how we made this with paint stirrers !
I’m sure this isn’t the first teachers pencil gift DIY you’ve seen around. I’ve seen plenty of pencil wreaths made using regular pencils and I thought it was such a cute idea. However I wanted to figure out a way to make the pencils pop more. Regular pencils have such tiny details and when combined with other elements could be hard to see.
Totally off subject but, I was watching a youtube video today and they interviewed a teacher asking what kind of gifts teachers like most. Apparently they LOVE gift cards.. HAHA hey but who doesn’t right 😉! I guess I was taken off guard a bit because, it’s not something I would think to give a teacher. I think of gift cards as my last resort. Like when I absolutely can’t think of anything to give a person then I’ll give them a gift card. Do you do that to?
We used paint stirrers to make the pencils. This way they're bigger and details show more.
We also used rulers and painted the wood with chalk paint.
You know…, I've been thinking and I wonder how teachers keep track of all their gifts they get. They probably have a whole room dedicated just for gifts from their students? 
Here's what the wreath looks like.
Isn't it cute. I love the details on the pencils.
