So, after searching a few blogs in my favorites, i came up with some ideas to "craft-lift!" We also made some earrings for each teacher out of supplies i already had on hand. I came up with the "design" and Jackson helped me string the "pattern". It' all about learning, right? I forgot to take a picture of the earrings, but we attached them inside a thank you card & wrote a note to each teacher. We sent those in on Wednesday. Then today, we sent in these hand sanitizer bottles that we made....
Each one has a little writing on the inside talking about caring hands, loving hands, friendly hands, etc. It was a word document copied onto a transparency, then cut & rolled to place inside the bottle. We removed the labels, added a pretty coordinating ribbon & viola! For 2.54 per bottle (including all materials) i thought this turned out incredibly cute and i KNOW the teachers will use them. I saw these here and here (with a tutorial) and i have to say that mine are a tad bit more cheerful looking- bright colors make me happy!
Tomorrow we are sending in these cuties...
Aren't they adorable? So simple too! This is just a square vase i found at Michael's on sale for $2.99. I had the vinyl for the lettering on the front as well as the ribbon in my scrapbooking supplies. All i had to do was add pencils @ .44 c per 8pk. Each vase has 8 pks in it so these ended up being around 6.50 each. Still not bad when i KNOW the teachers will use them. I got the idea here.... and i think hers are cuter than mine, but i used what i had, rather than searching everywhere for the right container. Next time, i will be more prepared though with the cute jar!
