As a child, my mom used
to sing that song every year right around the start of school and I didn’t
quite understand why. Many years later, when I became a parent myself, I got it
and would sing that song at the top of my lungs so my neighbors could hear..hahaha.
Although it may be a
small reprieve for us parents, all the teachers out there are singing the same
song but for a different reason! They cannot
wait to see our kids again and start the school year off with a bang!!
With schools starting back up, I though this is the perfect time to honor our teachers
who devote their time, creativity and patience to our littles and to the bus
drivers that safely get our littles to and from school. Truly Unsung Heroes!
With the help of many different
embellishments from Eyelet Outlet,
I was able to bring this four-piece Back to School collection to life!
The Apple Floral Arrangement would be a perfect gift for any teacher to have sitting on their desk. It’s approximately 6” tall and made with 95% paper!
For the adorable little
worm, I used Dark
Blue Glitter Washi Tape for his spots and two tiny black Pearl Bling for
his eyes.
The highlights on the
apple are made by using the Gold and
Silver Print Glitter Washi Tape. Perfect amount of sparkle. All the leaves
have been embossed to give it a more realistic look. My absolute FAVORITE part
of this piece are the FLOWERS! I made these from the White Paper Flowers
that I inked with yellow and orange distressed inks. You could never tell they were once white! In
the center of each flower is a 12mm Black Jewel
Brad.
THESE FLOWERS!!!
Here's another fun gift
for that special teacher! A Crayon Treat
Box!
This, too, is made from cardstock and pieced together to make this fun treat
box. It can be filled with anything but I thought what teacher wouldn’t love
some sparkly washi tape so I filled it with the Silver
Star Glitter Washi Tape and the Green
Patterned Glitter Washi Tape. On the
front of the box, you will notice a bright and shiny apple from the Apple Brads collection.
The very top has two Foam Hand brads
dangling from a ruler letting our teacher know that they are #1!
Want to see more from the collection? Stay tuned!
The rest of the collection will be revealed tomorrow!!
