Pre-School Teacher Gifts

A small token for Trevor's Pre-School teachers.  Yes, they are teachers.  Trevor told me all about Saturn, Mars, Jupiter and Earth last week!

The note reads:  "Thanks for being Trevor's "key" to success"

Easy Peasy:
  1. Use 3X4" scraps of fabric
  2. Place fabric "right" sides IN
  3. Sew up a 4" side, across 3" and down the other 4" leaving a 3" side open
  4. Mitre the corners with scissors
  5. Turn outside, in- square out the corners
  6. Insert 2.5X3.5 inch piece of Light HeatBond interfacing
  7. Turn in the open edges like a pillow case
  8. Insert 3" ribbon, folded in 1/2 with 1" sticking out
  9. Iron it to seat the HeatBond and flatten it out
  10. TopStitch around in a square to close, secure ribbon & flatten the fob
  11. Paint & Glitter an old key just for gift giving decoration -or- spraypaint a new/blank key and use vinyl letters to put their name on it.
