Teacher Gift: Note Holder

Hi there friends,
Today, I'm continuing with Teacher gifts & today's project is super easy!
Here it is:

With a pocket caddy in the back:
for sticky notes or other goodies :)

I bought this at Mike's for 50 cents. 
I painted it & then simply covered it with DP.
Now, it's ready for embellies!

 You could also make a ladybug or butterfly with it :) This gave me an idea for what to do with those SU! wooden blocks I've been hoarding storing for a project like this. (I've been unmounting my stamps for almost a year & have several blocks I didn't want to throw away.) I found some 12 gauge wire at Mikes & decided I would make more of these. I simply drilled 2 holes at the top curled the wire just like this one, used my glue gun to secure the wire in the holes. & that's it!

Did you notice what was in the caddy? Well, that was a sneaky peek at today's item going into the blog candy bag! I mean every good teacher must have a great pair of scissors & these are GREAT!!!

They're perfect for detail cutting. Don't forget to leave a comment for each teacher gift project for more chances to win!

Tomorrow I start with my school kiddos, but guess what I'm doing the night before??? Uh huh, just like last year, I'm going to a rock concert!!! Woooo- seeing the same band as last time too :) Don't worry, I'll be bright eyed & bushy-tailed for my brand new kiddos ;)

Thanks for peeking today!
Gotta Go ~Rock on ;)

  4. Love this one too Karli. I'll have to check my Mikes for some of these, I don't think hubby would let me near the drill (probably a smart thing). The little pocket in the back is such a great idea, too. Those scissors are the best, I love them for cutting ribbon, no fraying. Hope you have fun at the concert. Who are you going to see?

  6. This is so great! My sister is a teacher, and I'm always making things for her and her friends. Have fun tonight, and to quote Def Lep, "Do you want to get rocked?".

  9. Wow! What an awesome idea! I,too, have unmounted my wooden stamps! I have donated most of them to my daughter's Art class at school but I held on to the ones that were unused! I was going to monogram them for teachers gifts! Never in a million years would I have come up with this idea! I wish you could do a video of this! I am such a visual person that I have to see someone do it before I can do it! I would love to win one of those and I have always wanted a pair of those scissors along with another million things that is on my wish list LOL! Thanks for sharing an awesome creation!
