This week on FANTABULOUS CRICUT the challenge was to create something for the teacher with an apple shape on it. Teacher appreciation week is coming up, May 3-7 and I wanted to do something fun for my sister.
This apple pen holder is made out of toilet paper rolls.
Apples cut at 5 inches on heavy card stock, four times, twice in red, twice in white.
Shadow feature, apple cut twice at 5" on heavy card stock.
I attached the apples on both sides and then filled with these fun colored gel pens.
I read that teachers say they would like anything that shows appreciation, just no more coffee mugs. Ha ha ha. This is a simple gift and could even be filled with candies or other goodies.
Show your appreciation and then post your photo at Fantabulous Cricut!

Penny as a former teacher, who still has a teachers heart, I LOVE THIS! I would be so excited to get this over another coffee mug or knick knack, this is something you can USE and is CUTE! Great job sweetie! I am also a sucker for office supplies so this would have been perfect for me!
Very creative!
Oh, I love this, Penny! I knew I was saving all of those tp rolls for something, just didn't know what! LOL! What a great idea! Love the big red apple! Oh, and I am lovin' the new blog look!
Love this Penny. I need to make one of these as a teacher gift this year.
I really like this - such a good idea. Another use for toilet rolls is to flatten them and then use it as a kind of pocket - put a piece of cardboard inside with ribbon (almost like a bookmark) and put photos on each side (of the inserted cardboard) -decorate the outside of the tp roll - makes a really sturdy little bragbook for a nanna's handbag! There is one on my blog somewhere!
