It's Teachers Day in Australia on Friday, so yesterday I sat myself down to get a start on some gifts for Brocks Teachers. This year he has 2, so I thought I'd go all out and make them something a little different from the norm! I got one gift done yesterday for his main teacher (she only works Monday to Thursday) and today I'll have to get the other gift done for his Friday Teacher!
I ended up finding the most cute little gift box template online.............keep reading cause I'll post the link at the end of my post so you can buy one for yourself! They are CUTE!!
This is the gift box by itself which I filled with chocolates! You open it by flipping back the end of the pencil!
Next is the card I made. I wanted to make something that matched the pencil box, so I used one of my Papertrey Ink tag dies, and dressed it up to match! The Black bit on the end of the pencil for the card, is actually the same part you use for the box, only I flattened it, instead of 'poofing' it out to fit over the end. Make sense?
Then lastly, the photo of both the box and card together!
It was a pretty easy project to make because you just print the template out onto your cardstock, cut, and assemble. I think it probably took me about 2 hours all up to do both items.
Now, incase you'd like to make one of these for your kids teachers, here is where you'll find the link - just look under tutorials. It's only $6.50 to buy the template which you download instantly!
Well that's it for me today, hope you like my little pencil prezzie!
