Yes- this is another Target dollar bin find that I’ve been hoarding in my “to do” pile for a while. It’s actually a Paul Frank pencil holder that I just recovered with yellow paper.
The graduation cap is cut from Locker Talk and I added some yellow twine to make a tassel. I welded my daughter’s name together using Opposites Attract and added a few layered stars to the top of the pencil cut from George and Basic Shapes.
She’s 5 and it’s only preschool graduation so there’s no need to purchase an extravagant graduation gift like a computer, leather luggage or a even a car (Ha!) ’cause she’ll be just as excited for some……
