Steph in tx Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I figured this was the best place to put these?? Except for the first picture which is made with Paper Mache', the rest are wax related. I don't recall posting any of my stuff before now....but I just had to share the end of the year Teacher Gifts that were made by my grandson 7, daughter 13 and me (much older..lol). We had fun making these and I've embraced Dipped Toilet Paper!! Here are pictures of our gifts. Teacher Apple Pencil Holder For Grandson's Teacher 1st Gradehttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0932.jpgDecorated Dipped Toilet Paper Mostly for DD's teachersOn some of these (especially the brown one, my dd made this one first, but then her creative juices started flowing, and I think hers look like she has been doing these for some time! http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0933.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0934.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0936.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0938.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0939.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0940.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0943.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e166/Beginner101/100_0945.jpgTwo of her male teachers got candles. They were just plain candles in jelly jars, and didn't think they were show worthy. School is officially out as of today, and the Teachers loved them!! I am actually getting orders for these now. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Your DD is very talented. I really love the TP rolls with the red and pink flowers. Lucky teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Very pretty. They don't even make you think of TP... that's a good thing...lolI love the pink one! That apple is adorable!BTW: Candles or not... the TP still falls into the "home scenting" category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Those are gorgeous. Love the pencil holder If you don't mind my asking how did you attach the flowers around the side? I made some dipped TP before and put different types of stickers on them but had a hard time finding something to make them stick quick enough.

Steph in tx Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thanks!! I tried dipping bears long ago, but I couldn't sell those for squat!! But these really peaked interest with the women. All of these were scented with Baby Powder. I had done some up for Mother's Day for my mom, dd and dil. They loved them so much, I thought why not for teachers?? These don't take much wax, and don't take much time to set, and you can do so much with your imagination! DD had fun and now I found a way to keep her busy and to make a little cash for our summer vacation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricia76 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Wow.those look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph in tx Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Ladysj, We waited till the TP was set then used Hot Glue guns. They worked perfect! We cut the back of the flowers and leaves as close to the backs as possible, then applied hot glue and attached to the tp. Just be careful, the glue has a way of finding your fingertips!! OUCH!!

HeavenScentU Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I think those are very cute and unique, but I wouldn't want to tell anyone what they are made of. Especially if someone ran out of tp and tried to use a waxed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph in tx Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 I don't seriously think anyone would try to use these! They wouldn't be able to get them taken apart enough to use. I've label with every warning possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Fun, I still not sure if I could dip tp myself. Thanks for sharing your brilliant designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgirl Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 What a cute idea. Great way to freshen up the B-room!!! I am sure the teachers will love the TP rolls and pencil holder!! When a gift is made by a child/student, it is always extra special!! :smiley2: I think those are very cute and unique, but I wouldn't want to tell anyone what they are made of. Especially if someone ran out of tp and tried to use a waxed one.If anyone is stupid enough to break the wax TP roll apart to wipe their butt, then they deserve to have their butt cheeks stick together!!!

LOLLMAO!! You got that right!! It is soaked with wax thru and thru!! I don't think you'll find a dry patch in there. But it's a smell good decoration. And they were a hit with the Teachers! I finally found a way to use up some of my 1oz samples!! LOL And I don't have to test!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame-Maker Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 If you really did use it to wipe yourself.......would your f*rts smell like baby powder???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
