Sucker holder

OCTOBER 11--that is how long this has been sitting in my drafts!!!!


So I needed a sucker holder (it was for a bribe..gotta love the bribe.) I actually bought the suckers at the dollar store...then found this:
I thought it would be perfect to put the suckers on...
I took some paper
(okay...I bought this pack of paper at Walmart....so awesome. and it was only $5. don't know if you have noticed...but scrapbook paper is EXPENSIVE.) i HEART walmart.


and they all kinda go with each other...


picked this gender friendly green (don't worry, I add flowers and make it girly!)

I measured using the block (it was 4 inches)


 
so I cute this paper in 4 inch stripes and hot glued it all around the sides...one on top and one on bottom
and I have no pictures of the process cause I made this while were watching karate kid (the new one) and it was dark!  Great movie by the way!

But I decorated it all up...

and shoved some suckers in the top



if I was totally awesome...I would have gotten color coordinated suckers.
but i'm not totally awesome so I didn't have to worry about it!


this could totally be substituted for pencils..I myself prefer a sweet bribe.

nothing spectacular about the project..super easy.. just happy to use my glue gun...it has been too long!

  5. I shall call mine...the bribe box! Suckers are my weapon of choice when needing to give my kids that extra little "push" to do something!
