Hello! This is my first
attempt to blog, so bear with me, please.... Over time, I hope to blog
about many different things: cooking, crafts, children, school, and who knows
what else! Today, I will be talking about the goody I made for my son's
second grade teacher. I will also be telling you how to make one, too!
I thought it would be nice to send
my child to school with a gift that his teacher could actually use. To
sum it up, I bought a basket from the dollar store and filled it with goodies
for the classroom. Not only is this gift practical, but it’s also
affordable. When I finished this little
project, I had only spent about $10.
What a deal!
To begin, I took two thin ribbons and laced them between the holes in the basket. In the center of the basket, I knotted several ribbons and curled the ends.
Technically, you could put just
about anything in your basket. I put the following items in my
basket: a pack of mints, two sharpie markers (one black and one red), a
pack of Expo markers, a box of stickers, a packet of crystal light, and a
"special" candy bar.
The candy bar was easy-peasy to make! The only
supplies that you will need are a candy bar, a piece of scrapbook paper, and a
"sweet" saying printed from your computer. I found this idea at
The Crafting Chicks website.
Measure your scrapbook paper to fit
the candy bar. Cut, fold, and tape the paper around the bar. Print
your saying, trim the edges, and paste it to the center of the candy bar.
I used a foam star to add a 3D effect to mine.
Now, the teacher can have a "sweet" treat at the end of the first day!
Finally, put all of the contents into the basket. Ta-dah!!
