{thanks teacher}

It's that time of year again...
...school is coming to a close.
{anyone else excited and not?}

We've been blessed with
amazing teachers this year
and I wanted to do a little something
to say thank you
for all they've done for my girls.

So, after some searching on Pinterest,
I was inspired {by these} to make these.




SO easy.

All you need is:
an empty, clean can
hot glue
pencils {I used about 35}
flower arrangement foam
skewer sticks
Double Stuff Oreos
melting chocolate
sprinkles {if desired}
cellophane bags
ribbon
craft paper

To make the pencil 'vase', simply glue pencils to the can

and fill with a piece of flower foam.


To make the candy covered Oreos,
melt the candy as per package directions,
carefully dip cookies {on the stick} into the candy to fully coat
{you may want to practice once or twice to get the hang of it}.
Lay the dipped cookie pops onto parchment paper and allow to set.
Place each in a cellophane bag {after setting completely}
and tie with ribbon.

And then you arrange how ever you want.

Seriously, one of the easiest projects I've ever done.
And I'm all about easy, peeps.
