Pencil Toppers

mushroom, owl, acorn :: Whimsy Love


cupcakes :: Whimsy Love


babushka :: One Crafty Mumma

All of these are so adorable, I want
to make every single one! Pencil toppers
make great little gifts for students and
teachers of course, but they can also be
used as party favors, stocking stuffers,
advent calendar prizes and items for
fund raisers.
