Today is the first day of school here, and you all know I love to share my teacher gifts! A few weeks ago, I saw a really cute project by demonstrator Marisa Alvarez (Kitchen Table Stamper), and I thought it was just perfect for my first day of school teacher gifts. She had a set of tropical pencils, and had created a little holder with a pineapple tag for them. I did a little bit of looking, but couldn't find any pencils that were similar. I bought some Papermate Flair Pens instead - what teacher doesn't love to write with fun pens?!
You can find her measurements here. Even though my pens are probably a bit wider than pencils, and I had two instead of four, they still fit in the holder pretty well! I changed just a few things from the original design:
- I used retired True Love Designer Series Paper for my wrap around the holder.
- I used the Sweet Strawberry stamp set for my sentiment.
Here is a full list of the supplies I used, and remember, you can follow Marisa's tutorial here.
