Kids class project - pixie stick pouch



Here's a cute little pouch that I came up with on my own. I needed something that the kids could put together fast and would still look cute. It's perfect to be used for any holiday (ie: valentine treats, halloween, Christmas) or even in a "party goody bag". Just change the cardstock colors/stamps/colors etc. and you can totally personalize it. I took 2 picture so you can get a better idea of how "thick" it is etc.

I took the strip of c/s and pre-scored it for the kids, so they just had to fold on the score lines. The sides are held together by 1 staple on each side, then the white c/s was stamped and colored in (to coordinate with the pixie sticks used and c/s colors used) and the c/s was attached over top the staples. I used a large circle punch to punch out the 1/2 circle at the top, inserted the 3 pixie sticks and tied a coordinating ribbon around the whole thing. The kids went nuts for it...(of course they may have just wanted to eat the sticks, but since I wouldn't let them they still seemed to enjoy making the project.)

Project from my Kids Class



WOW. Can we say EXHAUSTED? I had my kids class at the local school yesterday and had 10 kids participating from 1st - 6th grade. I am beat!! This altered candle and dish was the project and it was amazing to see how each child changed it up and did their own thing with it. I let them choose between about 25 different pieces of decorative patterned paper as well as 8 colors of coordinating ribbon for each pattern and the end result was that no two were alike. I don't even think I remember seeing any 2 people choose the same patterned paper!! We also did 2 Fall/Thanksgiving cards and those will be posted in the next couple of days. (The same designs will most likely also be used for my Thanksgiving card.)

Hope everyone has started on their holiday shopping...I saw a blurb today on a blog that said 41 shopping days until Christmas!! ACK!
