Thank you gift for the teachers

Pencil holder

It's 2months of school holiday...meaning...sleep late, wake up when the sun burns your eyes, basically things that we rarely do when it's school time. However, rather than doing nothing, few days ago, I asked my girls to create something (our own art projects). Luckily, we hadn't found anything yet for a thank you token to be given to the previous homeroom teachers (I prefer a hand-made stuff since it has more personal touch). After googling and asking around, we come up with a hand-made pencil holder.

What do you need:
- a plastic container/glass/box (cylinder shape is preferable)
- bunch of pencils (the number is depended on how big the container that you use)
- hotgun (strong glue)
- small ornament for decoration (we used ribbons and small soft-toy)

How to (it's pretty simple):
1. Stick the pencils (one by one) onto the container/glass/box outer part. Careful with the hotgun. If you wanted, you could make patterns with the pencils.
2. Then add the ornament or decoration onto it. My girls made some thank you notes to be attached on the ribbon as well.
3. Ta...da...it's done. A pretty cute pencil holder (^.^) ready for use. 

It's simple (my girls can do it)...using a simple and unexpensive materials as well...and I think it's a perfect thank you gift for teachers.

Wanna try to create your own?
