Image of Daffodil Pencil
This cute cover will brighten up a standard pencil! While it is almost too pretty to use, the reality is that pencils get shorter as they are used and sharpened. As the pencil shortens, push the covering up; when that is no longer possible, you can move the flower to another pencil.

Daffodil Pencil Reviewed by yvonne nordeen on 2011-08-26 *****
I made them for my pencils and they are great. I plan to make some for my bud vase ministry. I take them to shutins and sick at my church. We use 2 live carnations, greenery and bow.
