Back to School!

Summer is coming to an end and the first day of school is soon upon us.

Don't forget to give your child's teacher something special.

We think some of the most thoughtful gifts are hand made, like this DIY highlighter vase & paper bouquet. It's also a cute little way to start off the new school year. 

Constructing the Vase:

Remove the label, wash, clean, and dry a recycled can. 

Next wrap a rubber band around the can. 

One by one, add your highlighters around the can.

Tie a ribbon around the can to hide the rubber band. 

Insert a small piece of Styrofoam or floral foam inside the can. 

Set the vase aside.

Making the Paper Flowers:

Constructing paper flowers can be made however your heart desires.

For this project, you can make simple accordion flowers.

Use craft punches in flower and circle shapes to embellish the accordion flowers. Hot glue each paper flower onto a wooden skewer and arrange them in the highlighter vase.

You can then make a sign or hand-written note that says,

“You as my teacher is the highlight of my year."

Have your child sign it to add a special touch.

End of Summer... already?

Summer is winding down and back-to-school is near.

You may find yourself wondering where the time went! Before it's over, grab a few friends and have a cookout.

The occasion provides a moment to enjoy a beverage (or two)

and grill some burgers!

For these Paper so Pretty summer invitations, head over to our website!

Try this recipe for a good, ole fashioned, Texas Ranch burger.

(from Texas Beef Council)

1 lb. lean ground beef
2 tsp. sweet paprika
2 tsp. dried thyme leaves, crushed
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. ground red pepper
4 egg-bread hamburger buns, split
4 leaves Romaine lettuce
4 slices tomato
1/4 cup prepared creamy ranch dressing
2 Tbsp. canned French fried onions

Combine paprika, thyme, salt, onion powder, and red pepper in an airtight container and shake to blend.

Shape ground beef into 4 patties, 3/4-inch thick. Press 1 tsp. of the spice mix evenly into both sides of each patty. Store remaining spice mix in airtight container for future use.

Grill over medium heat or medium coals to internal temperature of 160 degrees F.

Line bottom of each bun with lettuce and tomato. Top with burger and spoon ranch dressing evenly over burgers. Sprinkle with French fried onions and close sandwiches.
