Thank You Basket + Printable Tag

Here's another simple gift idea for a teacher or anyone really. I found this cute container at Micheals and filled it with some note cards, a cute pen, a pad of paper and rubber stamp that all had my sons teachers initial of her last name on them. We're also going to add her favorite treat in there as well. To add a little more cuteness to it, I added a clip on flower to the front of the basket. I love the bright and cheery colors!

"Write" Teacher for me

I got these darling pencils and notepad in the dollar section at Micheals. Teachers are always in need of pencils and paper! Tie them all together with some fun ribbon and a tag, or note from your child and you've got a simple but useful gift.

Treacherous Treats

With Halloween being 2 days away, I decided last minute to whip up a little something that the kids could give their teachers. It was super easy and quick.

All you need is any kind of some small container, ribbon, glue dots, and candy. I made the labels in photo shop using this free printable from Peonies and Poppyseeds. They have a lot of fun ideas that you should go and check out.

See I told you, super easy. This is a fun gift for teachers or anyone else for that matter. 

Happy Haunting!!

Back to School Teacher Gift

Twine

Binder Clip

Monogrammed Canvas Tote

My daughter has the most wonderful piano teacher who's kind, patient, and so encouraging. Lilly bug has been taking piano for just over a year now and still loves it! Thank you Mrs. Snow!

We wanted to thank her for all she's done for our daughter so I made this cute canvas tote for her. She also plays the piano and organ at our church, so we figured she could use a bag to carry all her music books in.

I used scraps of fabric that I had to make a ruffle and fabric flower. For the ruffle I used fabric that was 3"x21".  Using the widest straight stitch on a sewing machine sew all the way down the middle then pull on the thread to gather the fabric to look like a ruffle. Pin in place on the tote and sew the ruffle down the middle. 


For instructions on how to make a fabric flower go here. After making your flower, hot glue the flower on. 


For the letter,  I ironed some Ultra Heat-N-Bond (red package) to the fabic then used my Silhoutte to cut the letter out and ironed it on to the tote. Viola!

Coach/Teacher Gift

Update: I've had a few people ask if I would share the tag, so I  made coach and teacher tags to download. I used a 3" paper punch to cut them out. You can find the tags at the end of this post! 

This week we've been focusing on teacher gift ideas but we can't forget all the wonderful coaches. My sons basketball team had their end of year party last night and we decided to make his coaches a little thank you gift. This could easily work for a teachers gift as well.

Supplies needed:

plastic paint cans- find at any craft store

gum balls-we used orange to look like basketballs

ribbon-various colors of choice

Flower Pen Planter and Printable Tag

Day 3

We're halfway through the week of teacher appreciation gift ideas and I'm excited to share this next one with you.  It was fun to put together!

Thank You for helping me 

"Bloom" and "Grow" this year!

This idea can be useful and yummy. Take a watering can (found at Micheals) or a cute flower pot and fill with candy or chocolates. Make flower pens using floral tape and fake flowers and place in pot. Attach the tag using a ribbon or I had a wooden dowel that I painted green and used glue dots to attach the tag to the dowel. 

This is sure to brighten any teachers classroom!

Photo Case Gift + Free Printable Tags

Day 2

Sometimes it's hard to come up with a gift idea that you know teachers can use and enjoy! Why not give them a gift certificate? It could be for a movie, restaurant, book store, teacher supply store, grocery store or itunes. There are so many options!! 

This idea is fairly simple and a fun way to give a gift certificate. Take a plastic photo storage case and trace the lid onto some scrapbook paper and embellish it however you'd like. We added a tag and some ribbon.

Fill the inside with some yummy chocolates (or their favorite treat if you know what it is) and a gift certificate.

We're also adding a personal note from the kids and will stick that to the inside of the lid.
