Rolo Candy Pencils
Hi ya'll! It's almost Fall! My favorite time of year! Today's post is a quick little Back to school/teacher gift idea. My girlfriend Susan ( a serious blogger!) told me about these. I haven't seen any, but thought I should give it a whirl. As you can see in my photo somebody in my house got into the rolo stash! No one is fessing up to it, but I think it was the hubby. Anywho.... these are very easy to make and cost near to nothing. Take your standard size of rolo candies. I have cut a piece of more mustard cardstock sized at 3 x 3 5/8' and wrap it around the rolo and adhere with sticky strip. Then cut a piece of cajun craze cardstock at 1' x 3' and attach it to the top to look like a pencil eraser. Then cut a 1/4' piece of silver metallic cardstock, run it through the corrugator and wrap at base of eraser. At the top of the eraser cut a 1' circle and use a glue dot to attach to the top. Take a hershey kiss and attach at the bottom for your pencil lead. And there you have it! Now, I would love you guys to send me yours all done, so I can post them. Let's see your creativity! xoxo
Soooo cute and creative tfs!!!
