Directions to Make Pens for Teacher Appreciation
Step 1
Start by wrapping a line of painter’s tape around your mason jar about 1/3 of the way down. Paint the bottom of the jar with the desired color to give it a color block look.
Step 2
To make the succulent pens, hot glue the succulent pick along the side of a ballpoint pen.
Step 3
Use the hot glue to hold the floral wrap in place at the top and wrap it around the body of your pen, concealing the succulent pick.
Step 4
Place a dot of tacky glue on the end of the floral wrap and press into place. Allow to dry completely.
Step 5
Pour the river pebbles into your mason jar once the paint has dried. Stick the succulent pens down inside the rocks so they are sticking out of the top of the jar.
Step 6
Wrap the top of the jar in twine and attach the printable teacher appreciation cards….
Step 7
Now you’re ready to give your teacher a one-of-a-kind gift!
