Gingersnap Creations has a focus on "Friendship" for the month of September, and My Time To Craft is "Just Between Friends" and Altered Art is "Back to School" so my project was made for my daughters BFF. She just received her teaching credentials and has her first class of 4th graders this month... Whoo Hoo Miss Amanda.
I got this inspiration from Tara Orr's blog (an amazing G45 designer) and immediately knew it would be perfect for Amanda's desk. 
Purchased this tin and pencils at the Dollar Store and painted the tin black. Used the G45 paper line "ABC Primer" and covered each pencil. 
The pencils were then glued to the outside of the bucket. Ribbon was tied around the pencils and a tag was made. Distressed the edges and embellished it with brads. 
A coat of Rock Candy crackle paint was applied for texture and to finish it off I added a Muse Token from Ideaology.
art (ärt) noun - supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature. The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty.

An awesome project for a brand new teacher, bet she loved it. Never covered pencils, pens yes, but now I have to try that, my daughter is a teacher! Thanks for the inspiration.
