Pencil Cake Banner

For Evelyn's last day of school, I made her a cake with this pencil cake banner.

Supplies:

- text you want, 12pt, with double spaces between each letter

- long pencils, preferably sharpened

- string, light weight and any color you want

- scissors

- washi tape

- plastic snack bag or plastic wrap

-double stick tape

- Put double stick tape on the back of your letters and cut them accordingly.

- Measure the distance you need/want for the top of your banner

- Cut three pieces of string, I made each subsequent half an inch shorter to angle the pencils for my small cake.

- Tie the strings to the pencils.

- Add your letters and washi tape.

Wrap the bottoms of your pencils with plastic and double stick tape.

TADA!

Complete!

I'm sorry I didn't get pictures of everything.  I was trying to beat the clock.  I finished this just in time to put it in the cake before I needed to get Evelyn from her last day of school.

Hope y'all liked this.

It was my second cake banner I made, and it turned out better than my last.

I'm getting better!  I hope y'all keep trying to improve also.

Hope to hear from y'all soon!

Thanks for visiting!

Last Day of School

Thursday was the last day of school for Evelyn, and I continued the tradition we started last year.

I made a much smaller Summer Adventures poster for a much shorter list,

but more on that later.

While Evelyn was at school, I made her a chocolate cake and iced it with more chocolate.  

I made a cake banner out of pencils, craft twine, and washi tape.

Evelyn loved it!  At least a month before school was ending, she asked if I would be making a cookie for her this year.  I decided to do a different dessert.  She came in and was surprised by it.

It was a great last day of kindergarten.

Do y'all do any special end of school things?

Hope to hear from y'all soon!
