Hello, today is the first day of school, and this is a gift I made for some of the Teachers. The school Riley at Hanna Stamps was perfect for this!
I bought the mugs at the dollar store. Filled them with pencils, and decorated the outside.
Riley was stamped on white with noir black palette ink. The I coloured him in with SU ink and an aqua painter. I used markers to colour everything else, and added crystal effects to his glasses.
I used the nestabilities circle and scalloped circles for Riley, wild wasabi, and real red.
I put holes on both sides of the circle with the crop-a-dile, and then threaded ribbon through and tied on. I put clear dots on the back of the circles, and 1 dot on the ribbon to hold it in place!
Super easy, inexpensive, useable gift!
