I saw this Christmas gift idea on a blog I follow and decided it would be a perfect gift for Korben's teacher and bus driver. I don't really know if you are supposed to give gifts to teachers etc. anymore, but these ladies are such wonderful women that I couldn't help but give them something.
Of course I put off making these till Thursday night around 9:30pm - the night before Korben's last day of school. I didn't want to make a huge shopping trip out of it, so Mike ran to Safeway just to get the bottles while I rounded up items in our home to use as bottle fillers. Although I didn't follow the pattern exactly (I didn't have confetti so substituted tissue paper, and I cut the hole too high so had to cover the top), I think they turned out rather cute. The best part, is that they only cost me $3 in soda since I had everything else. Woohoo!
So if you are needing an inexpensive but cute gift to give this week, here's a fun one:
