Leading up to Back to School it is easy to find school supplies for mere pennies.  Last week was the first sale I saw of crayons going for 50 cents, and the off-brands for as low as 10 cents a box!  Crayons are perfect for more than just colouring as I think this creative wreath by contributor Erica will show!

So easy to make and looks great. Warning: avoid hanging on doors that are constantly being open and shut and slammed (as happens with classroom doors). Still looks cute inside classroom,

This is such a fun idea, although I have a feeling my little guys would try to use the crayons to colour with :).
