Easy presents for Teachers

Hi Debbie with a couple of ideas for end of term presents.

I like to make presents for the people I work with, and know that some of the people I work with have a  hidden stash of sweets. I decided to make personalised sweet jars with names on and a couple of books to write down the funny things that children say. (Anyone who works with small children will realise this happens on a daily basis)

 

I bought kilner jars and used a fiskars border punch to create a lace effect. If you match up the edge of your paper, you can make sure the pattern matches on the top and bottom of the paper.

I cut some chipboard tags with sizzix dies, painted them, inked the edges and tied them onto the jars with ribbon.

I decorated the sides of the jars with names, flowers, lace, buttons and felt birds, and filled them with a selection of sweets.

 

These are simple notebooks covered with co-ordinating paper.

I hope I have given you a couple of simple ideas for presents.

Pretty gifts, and useful too. Made me chuckle to imagine teachers sneaking into the store cupboard for a quick chomp on a drumstick lolly. Oh, you mean the sweets are to give out to good children? ;)

Oh these are gorgeous Debbie and something that lasts long after a box of choccie or some flowers. I'll have to remember this for next year.
