Fun Project of the week!

I was trying to figure out how to organise my work space.  Suzanne had given me some containers that were originally for some wall art to use as pencil holders that I had placed on my desk a couple of weeks ago.  After looking at them for a couple of weeks, I decided they needed some "tristifying", which basically means that they needed a trista makeover!  I thought with some cute paper and some rubber cement, I could come up with something cute to put on my desk.  While I was at the grocery store yesterday, I picked up some wrapping with cute flowers and butterflies.  After working for a bit once I got home from the grocery store, I decided it was time for a break and created my cute pencil holders!  All it took was cutting them down to size and rubber cementing the paper on.  Next time, I would probably use thicker paper as I had to double up otherwise the writing from these cardboard canisters shown through.  Doubling it up caused some creasing on the bottom and top that I don't exactly love.  But, for now, I seriously LOVE them!  They work great and look super cute on my desk!!!!
