Teacher Appreciation WEEK is coming right up. I made this last year, but wanted to share it with you all to help give you an idea. I have plans for something new this year, and hope to share it later next week.

I made flower pencils in a recycled SLIM FAST can/pot. 

Here is what I did~ I used a recycled slim fast can. I removed the lid and tossed it. Pulled off the paper Slim Fast wrapper and tossed it as well. Emptied any remaining powder, then wiped the can out with a very lightly damp paper towel. I have had the pack of pencils FOREVER.

I traced the right length of paper I would need, by using the can as my guide. Then I cut to size. glued on with glue dots and a glue stick.

Then I made a simple tag/card…

and I stuck the hand made greeting tag/card inside the can.

VIOLA~ THANKS FOR STOPPING BY! winks- jen
