Something Springy

So, it's snowing outside and I thought I'd post something springy....  These are pencils I made.

I punched from the pendant punch from Stampin Up!, and I also used the banner punch.  Tied it all off with some bakers twine.

 Then I made these bows.  So you know how you always have designer paper left over from whatever project that you have made.  Well, I've been saving them in a folder and here is what I did with them.

 Each have six strips, all are 1 inch shorter than the next layer.  There are three layers of flower and the best way I could find to put them together was my trusty glue gun.  Then a silk flower in the center with a button to tie it off.

Hope you like!
