I'm so glad I was able to get some teacher gifts out this year! My kids have fabulous teachers and have in the past but I don't always get the gifts out every year. Mostly work and the holiday craziness cause my to get behind. Anyway, just little somethings I made and put together that even the boys were excited about. I love it when the boys like a project enough that they want to share with it their friends and teachers! So here they are!
My curvy keepsake boxes with the candy cane lollipops in them! It was certainly trial and error with these but I think I figured it out and will definitely make these again! I'm thinking Valentines workshop? Anybody? I'll bring the pops! :-)
Mini candy canes and white chocolate. Super quick, easy and delish!
Here's the super cute penguin box made by my upline Sheilah at her workshop that I was unable to attend. She so amazing, she put together a kit with the projects and gave them to me so I could still have all the cute little boxes they made!
So a couple things I learned making these boxes to use with the pops.
----Clean off the chocolate on the stick below the candy canes. It bulks up and doesn't allow it to poke through the top of the box easily and will rip the tabs.
-----One tab must be made wider. I used my paper snips to widening the slit that fits over the handles.
------Partially assemble the handles and one tab with the widened slit. Then slip in the pop. Wiggle and jiggle it in. It'll work
-------With the slit widened, make sure the stick pokes through on the opposite side of the handles (see penguin :)) That way you're able to slip the remaining tab over the handles and secure as normal.
Soon to come:
Christmas Cards! Yep, I'm still making those like no tomorrow! I'm determined to get as many out as possible!
Upcoming workshop date! We're almost on top of Christmas so let's start planning our Valentine's and Birthday workshops!
Christmas! Anyone else as excited as I am?! I love this time of year with my family. My boys and my husband are on break so I get to have them all to myself! Haha
