Teacher Appreciation

I'm so excited to share with you my entry for the Peachy Keen Challenge #16 - 3D projects SOUPer Fun!  I saw this idea on Pinterest for Teacher Appreciation week and thought this was the perfect time to try it out!  I'm a pretty practical person so I wanted to think of something that she could use but was still teacher cute!  and of course homemade!  Here is what I created :)

I love love it!  I started with the an empty tomato paste can and hot glued pencils all around it.   It took 31 pencils total.

I cut the crayons from My Community and the apple from Plantin Schoolbook.  I stamped the apple with PK490 Everyday Character Face Assortment.  I cut the frame from Gypsy Wanderings, used stickers from DCWV and stamped a PK-440 Cute and Cuddly Face on it!  I used paper from DCWV Grade School Stack (such adorable prints!)

 

I thought long and hard on what to fill it with.  Flowers, candy, but it came down to coffee pods!  As a class we got her a Keurig for Christmas so I figured she can always use pods :)  Although it didn't hold many, 6 maybe?  I made a pocket in the frame so I could also include a gift card.  My boys are already fighting over who gets the first 'prototype'!  Now they want me to use colored pencils!  I think it turned out pretty cute!  and somewhat practical!  Thanks for looking :)
