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 Grace Tait on 2008-08-02
I think this is great for pens too. Can someone modify this pattern to make it a pointsettia flower instead of a daffodil? They would make great Christmas bazaar items.
