You're Amazing! Flower Pot

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by

 

Today I wanted to create and show you a neat teacher gift idea.  I found the general idea from Pinterest, but put my own spin by personalizing the bucket. 

 

 

I first cut out the digital images from Craftin Desert Divas called Flower Power.  I printed and then cut with the Brother Scan N Cut.

 

 

I then wanted a more finished edge look so I took a marker and just ran it around the outside of each flower. 

 

 

To prepare the bucket I simply took some floral foam and hot glued that to secure it.  I then personalized the bucket with Mrs. Langdon.  I have no children, but she ordered a few wreaths from me and she has been a teacher for over 25 years.. so I thought it would be nice to gift her this. 

 

I then shredded some green cardstock for my grass. 

 

 

I then took the digi flower and placed a hole in the center. I didn't the hole too large so I then took my penblade and made little slits so that it could fit over the pencil eraser.

  

 

 

I then placed each pencil random places in the bucket.    I made a tag that I will place on the handle, but for photo purposes I placed it in the grass.  I will write my message on the back of the tag.

The final project is super cute!  I just know she will love it!
