As I mentioned in the last post, last Thursday was the girls' last day of school. Ashley is in middle school, so she has several different teachers. But since this was Anna's last year of elementary, she had just one teacher for the entire year. As a "thank you" gift, I made this colorful flower arrangement. Those are real #2 pencils hot-glued to a skinny clear glass cylinder vase. I taped cardstock to the vase, which gave me a good base to hot-glue the pencils to. Easy peasy!!!! Actually, I cannot take credit for this idea. I saw something similar at the local craft store, but they wanted $30 for a pre-made one! Just rediculous, so I wandered around the store to find the supplies and just made one myself for a fraction of that. I tied it with printed twill and added a little apple button for the cuteness factor.
Thanks for looking!
later,
