eCraft "Back to School" Blog Hop!

Welcome to the BACK TO SCHOOL BLOG HOP!

All of the fabulous designers on this hop are showing you a BACK TO SCHOOL project using the
Fabulous and versatile eCraft.

If you just arrived here from Erika's Blog then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog please start at the beginning over at Raven’s Blog. That way you will be able to see all of the amazing projects and you will have more ways to win.  After me, you will go to Faith's Blog :)

Here is my project for the hop :)

I decided to make a cute little "Survival Kit" for my daughter's Kindergarden teacher.  Heaven knows that that many 5-6 year olds will drive you crazy!  So i figured this little stash of treats will help her survive the first day of school!

So I began by getting a pencil case, on sale for .50 :)  talk about cheap!!
I gathered some paper I had on hand and measured and cut my paper...courtesy of eCraft, duh!
Next, with the help of some modge podge, I started putting the paper on the case.


I cut out my letters via eCraft.  The small letters were 1 inch and the larger ones were 2 inches.



Done with the modge podging!


Next I grabbed some treats and filled it up!


Then I got some cute "back to school" ribbon I had and tied it around the case.

It's ready to go!  I hope Emma's teacher likes it. :)  It's a great & very inexpensive teacher gift!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ok so back to business...
