For the teacher, a mug of pencils – with flowers!



​
        You will need:
             Coffee Mug
             Daisy Pom-Poms
             Floral Foam
             Pencils
             Wood Picks  
             Floral Wrap

I began this arrangement by cutting floral foam to fit the size of the mug. I elected to use foam because this would allow the pencils to be more stable in the arrangement.  I also cut a v in the back of the foam to make watering the arrangement less messy.

I cut the stems of daisy pom-poms into pieces. Leaving the leaves in place, place blooms close to the rim of the mug. Place tall stem pieces in the center of the mug to add height.  Continue placing pieces of the daisy poms to fill the arrangement. 
Place the end of a pencil into the foam throughout the arrangement. I placed wood picks on 2 pencils and secured them with floral wrap. Place these pencils toward the top and center of the mud to continue the height. 
Using the channel created in the back of the arrangement, water the arrangement often. Check the channel to see if there is any standing water. It is acceptable to keep water in this channel. This arrangement could last for days or longer.
