owning kenner road means that there is alot of product package recycling that i do each month. from the cardboard that the product is shipped in down to the individual product plastic packaging and sleeves; all in all it amounts to alot of waste {all of which we recycle aggressively!}. last month, after i finished kitting the windy corner kits {there are still a few left here} i had about 24 of these cute plastic boxes from the maya road chandelier trinkets left and i knew exactly what to use them for... halloween treats for all of the littles teachers and friends.
it was the quickest school project i have ever made. the candy corn was put in first and then i simply cut a 3.5" x 5.25" piece of pink paislee pattern paper down and slid it right into the back where there were built in sleeves from the mr product card. then i wrapped an older {2008?} piece of making memories glitter paper around, stapled it to secure in the back and added some seam binding ribbon and cut out sassafras lass monster frames.
the entire process from start to finish took only 1/2 an hour and i've been so happy to see the thrilled faces of all of our recipients. these three are all we have left and are for three special monsters we will be trick or treating with tomorrow night. mr aviator goggles is by far my favorite one of the bunch!
i'm heading out to go watch a beautiful pega-corn parade around her school {while a mini peter parker watches in jealousy} and then hopefully i'll be able to resist the coma inducing 1st grade candy party that will follow.
happy friday!
