Welcome to the Thankful Thursdays Back to School 

Blog Hop, brought to you by Crazy About Cricut. If you

Then you are in the right place.  If you just happened

across my blog and would like to hop along with me

and my DT sisters you can head on over to:

http://www.crazyaboutcricut.blogspot.com/

And start at the beginning.  I know all my DT sisters

did a fantastic job on their hop projects today. So, please 

make sure to check out each of their Blogs and leave my 

sisters some blog love. 

For todays project I decided to make my daughter Emily

a special container to hold her school supplies on her 

desk at home.  I used one of her favorite cartridges 

Create a Critter.  Isn't the monkey cute?

For the base of the container I recycled an nut can I had 

been saving for a project just like this one.  I used 2 boxes 

of 24 Crayola Crayons to circle around the can.  I measured

the outside of the can to figure out how many crayons I 

needed to go around it. After I figured out how many crayons 

I needed I lined them up in the order how I wanted to glue them

on.  Then all you need to do is hot glue them around the can

making sure to keep them lined up straight because I found out 

it is really easy for them to get crooked.

The monkey can be found on page 46.  I cut him out at 

3 inches with double layers for added thickness.
