Teacher Gifts

I was asked by a couple friends to make some teacher Thank-you's for the end of the school year. I was given like 2 days noticed, so I rushed to the local dollar store with a few ideas in mind.
I found a canvas that was about 1/2 inch. thick and thought I would figure out something cute!

Here's some of the things I used to make the project:

 Glue gun, Modge Podge-We all know this stuff ROCKS! Small beads, Exacto Knife and Scrapbooking flowers, paper and cute ribbon! 

Here's the flowers that I made and I glued a bead on the center

Tada..........

Here's the finished Project!

I really like how it turned out!

 My daughter Has Ms. B next year for Kindergarden so

maybe we will see this hanging up in her room!

Edible Arrangment!

I also made 2 of these babies. They were super easy. I took an empty formula can and modge podged some paper on the outside, added some ribbon and cute scrapbooking stickers I found at the $1 store. Man what would I do without that store :) I used floral foam inside and then added paint brushes, crayons and colored pencils sticking out. I bought these cute little cinnamon rolls for a 6 pk. for $0.75 at the walmart and put them on posicle sticks because when I got home I realized I was out of scewers. I wrapped celepane around the rolls and tied it with a ribbon.

Here's some that I made last year for teachers:

Teacher Appreciation Gift!

I wanted to make a small teacher appreciation gift for Doodles Pre-school teachers. I could go on and on about how thankful Iam for these teachers,but words cannot explain!

I wanted to give them something , but I didnt want to run into town to have to buy stuff, so I just used what I had at home!

Heres what I did:

2 empty cans

I put about 1/2 in. of bark in the bottom to allow drainage for the plants!

I planted the Pansie plants with Miracle Grow potting soil , added the label to the pot so they knew what type of plant it was and how to care for it, then I cut strips of paper that were wide enough to wrap all away around the can. I sprayed the paper with spray adhesive to stick to the can.

 Umm.Can i say Iam not sure if I can ever get used to using this sticky stuff, Plus it would Not stop spraying when I let go of the sprayer, So i had to smack it against the side walk to get it to stop. Are ya all laughing , Cause I sure was!

Here's what the can looked like covered!

The finished product.

I added a small strip of paper around the bottom to add more color, added some cute scrapbooking bug stickers, and then tied a note with Raffia saying " Happy Spring, Thanks for all you do! "

Doodle had fun giving it to her teachers!
