Check out this great idea!
I can't believe it's almost time to head back to school! In just two short weeks my kids will be starting back up and my daughter will be a big second grader. We recently got Lucy her own desk and she's a little unorganized! So I thought for my post today I would make her a pencil holder to keep at her desk and try and help her along in that organization!
As I was going thru my cupboards recently, I came across a straw holder that we haven't used in years. I knew that this would be perfect (and fun) for holding pencils!
I cut strips of patterned paper that were 2 X 9 inches and wrapped those around the glass container. I then embellished the front with a 3D Sticker of a Princess that looks like my little girl!
The next step was to use my I Rock tool and attach some Sparkle! At the top where there was just glass I attached hearts in a random fashion. I then added some hearts above and below the 3D Sticker.
My last step was to add just some gems again making use of my I Rock tool. I just added those above and below the 3D sticker to bring more attention to that.
Woulldn't this be a fun project to do for your little boy or girl or even a special teacher? Little boys could be done using the Perfect Vacation line and be a perfect match! Thanks for joining us today!
Supplies:
Imaginisce: Patterned Paper (Little Princess), 3 D Sticker (Little Princess), I Rock tool and I Rocks

Now this is an awesome idea! I'm going to have to give these as gifts to my son's teachers.
