Where does the time go? I have missed you all and missed blogging, but have been busy running to ball games, finishing the school year, and keeping up with family. I hope your summer is off to a great start!
This may be a little late for this year, but I had to share a darling and inexpensive graduation gift idea that I stumbled upon HERE. Just add it to your archives for next year's gift giving!
The supplies are simple:
1. A pack of Jones soda in a coordinating school color(or any brand for that matter...Jones happens to have a nice black lid for creating a graduation hat, but I also used other brands without black lids, and they still looked just dandy. I will admit, the Jones packs were a bit tricky for me to round up, and there were limited flavors and colors.)
2. Black paper cut into 2" squares.
3. Embroidery floss in the graduate's school colors--double an 8" strand and tie into a knot.
4. Hot glue.
5. A coordinating "Congratulations" printout and/or the graduation announcement.
You can see how easy this goes together right? Simply glue the floss tassel to the middle of the squares, and then glue the squares onto the lid tops.
If desired, create a little "Congratulations" sign and cut it in the same dimensions as the soda box, then adhere. We got a little "punny" with our saying as you can see here:
I also trimmed and glued the graduation announcement onto the opposite side to personalize it further. These came together in a matter of minutes, and my little gals thought they were so clever and great fun to create. And they are adorable for the graduates that you want to recognize and honor without breaking your bank.
Hats off to all you graduates and our leaders of tomorrow!
