I wanted to make something for N2 to take to their teacher's on Open House. It was hard to narrow down what to make but I finally decided I wanted to put school supplies in a resuable cup. Here's what I made.
I used Back 2 School by Scraps by Andrea to make the tag
I put hershey kisses, paper clips of various designs (arrows, hands, feet, triangles, circles, squares), tiny binder clips (I would have put larger ones in but Wal-mart did not sell bigger ones that were nice patterns), colored pencils and crayons. The tricky part was to cut paper for the middle that was tapered. The first one I just had to keep trimming and trimming until it fit. The second one went together must faster but I tapered too much. Oh well! Their teacher, Mrs. Kathy, really liked the idea and said she would use the idea for a gift for someone!
Here are their first day of school pictures in case you missed them on Facebook. I got so many good pictures!
All I did to make the frame was open an 8x10 canvas in photoshop, fill it with a chalkboard green and then type out the words. I did run an action on the words to get them to look a little grungy. Then I printed it out and trimmed off the sides. I took a picture off my wall, pulled out the glass and picture and put this in.
