My Altered Pencil Case (JDT Project)
1:00 PM
Hey Ladies, it’s me, Jordan. This is my second Junior Design Team project. My sister is an avid horse lover! She has been on a horse kick for years. She buys books on horses, watches shows on horses, buys equipment for horses…we have even driven…out of town…long distance I tell you…to see one of her idols…Clinton Anderson. Did I mention she loves horses? She is the inspiration for this project.
I have altered a standard pencil case. It has a sliding body and a snap lid. I used wrapping paper remnants from a gift shop that went out of business in my hometown. I also used some natural colored thin twine I had on hand to make a lasso. The rest of the embellishments were 3-D stickers that were from earlier projects. I used Glossy Accents to cover my case with the paper and then wrapped it like a present – thanks for all that experience from Christmas past Mom! Then I traced the lid for the inside sliding case and glued that in place. Then the fun part…deciding how to embellish. I had some fun cacti stickers and covered wagons, but in keeping with the color scheme and the bronco, I chose to go with the cowboy hat, boots and homemade lasso. I topped it all off with the skull of the bull…craneo de la toro! I think it adds something to it. Anyway, I hope you like it!
By the way, the money my sister has spent on horse stuff…has to already be in the thousands, right? Did I mention we don’t even have any horses? Let me know if you want to send money to the “Help Me Save My Sanity And Get My Sister A Horse Fund.” Address To Follow. At the very least, remember her in your prayers.
