Our valentine gifts for our teachers

 We always try to do a bit more than the typical when it comes to teacher gifts.  Valentines in no different.  I had these buckets from Christmas Target dollar bin.  Perfect place to start.

I took off the ribbon trim and then used the crop-a-dile to make punched holes in the top of the bucket.

Next I used jewelry findings to add beads and then hooked the strands into the punched holes.

After that we added tons of candy and a new ribbon handle.  They can be reused as a pencil holder or whatever and the "bling" beads made it so much fun.
