ShoeBoxes of Love: Cute, Easy, No Sew Pencil Cases

Cute, Easy, No Sew Pencil Cases

This pencil pouch can cost under 10 cents depending on your source of duct tape and ziplocks. Try the dollar store for the tape. Thanks to Cathy on FB for the heads up for the idea!

This is made with a gallon ziplock and duct tape. Use tape down the bag and cut to desired depth. Some crafters fold the bottom up a bit to avoid it being sticky inside and tape the bottom. SO cute. This would be a great craft for youth groups! Duct tape crafts are trendy and easy and fun.. and putting together their own pencil case for the boxes would be a great idea for any youth packing party.

HI!!! I am Rhonda and I am a year round volunteer with Operation Christmas Child here in the Klamath Area and in case you couldn't tell yet, I LOVE OCC!

I hope that at this blog you are inspired to pack boxes, to pray, and to share the news about Operation Christmas Child with others in your life.

To God be the glory!

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:14-15)

DROP OFF LOCATION

The Drop Off sites around the nation are now all closed.

If you already packed a shoebox you can mail it. Learn more at http://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/drop-off-locations/

Or if you learned about it too late this year, or time slipped away, you can still build a shoebox online at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/buildonline/ The boxes built online can be more expensive, especially if you are a sale shopper BUT they have all approved items and can go anywhere in the world, including areas where there are many restrictions, such as Muslim nations. So please consider this option if you still want to do a box.

And it is NEVER too early to start shopping and crafting towards next years' boxes! There are still hundreds of millions of children around the world in desperate poverty and needing the love of Jesus.
