Say that three times fast! LOL!
My daughter's Kindergarten class is having a pajama party today, and each student was to take a small gift that starts with a "p" for a gift exchange. She wanted to take a penguin. Well, seeing that we had less than an hour to try to find a penguin before her gymnastics class last night, I immediately thought of decorating a "p"eppermint "p"atty with a "p"unched "p"enguin. She liked the idea. Except for the peppermint patty part.
O.k. Then what to decorate with a penguin? While we were at the store, she decided she wanted to use a roll of breath mints. Those were peppermint, and they would work just fine.
So she gets dropped off at gymnastics and I was left to figure the whole penguin thing out. Not that I minded. It meant I got to play and not feel guilty about it!
Without further ado, meet Mr. Penguin...
Isn't he the cutest? And so simple to make. Nestabilites ovals and a few punches for all the parts, huge googly eyes, and he's done!
I made the box to hold two rolls of mints, and it wasn't hard to do even without a template. I just put the rolls of mints on my scor-buddy and scored where I needed the folds. The box turned out to be 3/4" x 1 5/8" x 2 3/4".
Here he is from the back side.
A perfect fit!
The penguin was attached to the box with a loop of blue painter's tape so he could be removed and saved by the recipient if they wanted.
M was very happy with my little creation, which made me very happy because she can be quite picky. I hope her classmate likes it too.
Supplies for penguin:
Paper - basic black, pumpkin pie, GKD PL white
Accessories - Nestabilities ovals (body); Boho Blossoms (feet), Blossom Petals (wings), and small oval (beak) punches; googly eyes
Supplies for box:
Paper - basic black
Accessories - ScorBuddy, corner rounder, 5/8" circle punch, red line tape
